No Weekend 4 us – The Event Feature
Based on our experience with Sitecore and the expectations that our customers have when creating a new website we did an entire walk-through of the Habitat solution. As we investigated the Features made available in the latest Habitat version we tried to list which elements we saw as missing from the solution.
One of the features that seemed lacking was the possibility for the content editor to create and manage events as well as all associated content.

SwissExperienceFactory – Rendering Mover for Habitat
In the Sitecore 8.0 Experience Editor it was only possible to add renderings to the
Final Layout. If you wanted to change the Shared Layout you had to use the
Presentation Details.
This meant that an author usually added a specific rendering for each language
manually. In Sitecore 8.1 it’s possible to add renderings to the shared Layout from
the Experience Editor.
