Hi Mike, Excellent. Thanks for the response. I can see how to do it with the standard Alfresco interface.
But what steps would I have to go through to make this possible in the Share UI? What do I have to learn (and will it all change in 3.3?)

My vision is of people using the wiki interface to create local content, then adding an aspect and filling in the metadata - all from a single environment.

You would need to modify the wiki pages and components in order to support the Use Case you require. We have no plans to enable actions such as Manage Aspects for the wiki page - although we will be migrating the create & edit pages to use the new Forms Service at some point, so you'd be able to configure the custom metadata that way. That won't happen until at least v3.4.

Thanks,
Mike
