First I want to say that I’m a little bit worried that we’re doing this one or 2 days away from the beta 2 release. But Sergiu if you’re committing to have it work flawlessly for before Monday I’m fine… ;-)

Now back to your proposal:

· Create page/blog/space/etc. Are you talking about the Create Panel or something else?

· +1 for the edit menu with no submenu

· Show: Do we need “attributes”? I would be for removing it.

· +1 for choosing the Simple or Advanced view setting in the user profile. When the user registers, he’ll specify what kind of user he is and then he can change it later by editing his profile.

· In simple mode the default editor should be the WYSIWYG editor. I guess this will override the default editor settings in the preferences.

· The rest is fine with me

Thanks

Hi all,

As http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-562 says, the Beta2 will have two types of users, beginners and advanced. The difference is in the possible actions that the user has access to directly from the interface (all the functions can still be accessed from the right URL). We must decide which are these actions.

Here is my proposal:
- create:
  - page
  - blog entry
 - space
- edit: just the top button (no submenu) with the default editor. It will be possible to switch between the 3 available tabs: WYSIWYG, wiki and page access rights.

- show
  - comments
  - attachments
  - history
  - attributes
(no code)

- print
  - pdf
  - preview

- delete - admins only

Switching to the "advanced" status: in the user profile (still looking for a better solution).


Waiting for your opinions.

Sergiu
