[Sandy] visible property on nodes and other query

[kiroukou]

I'm going to make a test on  visibility property. There was a problem  
while ago, but it was solved in the 3.0.1, are still using your  
custom version or the latest version?


Otherwise a property which manage the cache is a good thing to have  
for sure, but there's still few things I'm not sure to know how to  
implement.

I'll give a try asap.

Concernnig the website, I agree. The website is cool, but we still  
need more content :)  In the FAQ for example.
