+1 for those 2 ideas as well.
As discussed IRL earlier today, I also believe that those 2 ideas would
benefit XWiki users a lot.

Can we please stop hiding "hidden documents" from searches? Right now it
adds magic and complexity to admins trying to debug their systems and it
could conceivably be a security issue since any user can create and hide a
document.
The concept of technical spaces sounds like a replacement.

Hi devs,
I'd like to propose 2 small changes that should make a huge difference
for our
users.
1) Introduce the notion of technical spaces
The idea is that in WebPreferences for a space we should have a boolean
property
mentioning if the space is a technical space or not.
This will allow to:
* Remove the blacklistedspaces variable
* List only non technical spaces for simple users
2) Introduce the notion of Application spaces
The idea is that in WebPreferences for a space we should have a boolean
property
mentioning if the space is an application space or not.
This will allow to:
* Replace the Quick Links Panel with an Applications Panel listing all
spaces that
are application spaces
* Only list Content spaces in the Spaces Gadget
in the Dashboard
* Add the ability for extensions to declare new applications that
automatically
appear in the Applications Panel
I'd also like to suggest adding a global admin preferences to quickly
select
all spaces that are application and/or technical spaces (imagine a
list of all spaces with 2 checkboxes for each space listed). This makes it
very easy for the admin to reconfigure what are application spaces (thus
showing in the app panel) and what spaces should be hidden for simple users.
Of course modifying these would modify the WebPreferences of the said
spaces.
In addition to make this autodiscoverable I'd suggest that for admins the
Application Panel should have a link to this admin feature. Something like
"Configure Applications...".
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: I'm very excited about these 2 ideas since they're simple and IMO
will
make XE much easier to use and understand for people starting to use
it.
