+1 for 2.
I don't think we need a welcome message in the dashboard anymore.

Problem: In the 'Navigation' panel the "Welcome to your wiki" is
displayed
as a child page of "Home". Users might
ask what is the purpose of this
page.

1.B and move it to Dashboard: instead of being in the Main space, since
now
it's used only there.
1.C and change the text: from a generic 'Welcome' message, to

Let me know what you think,
+1 for 2. It’s not needed anymore since it’s been replaced by the new page. It’s better to make the Dashboard useful
right away (ie with useful
content).
Now, I haven’t checked, but if we still generate subwiki’s home pages
with
the Dashboard, I believe we may also want to
review this (for some of the
same reasons we modified the main wiki’s home page, such as easiness of
editing it) and replace it with a new subwiki home page.
When we create subwikis, they have the same content as the main wiki (the
new homepage and panels).
Current Status:
1. Keep it: +1 (Edy), +0.5 (Marius), +0.5 (GD)
1.A and mark it as hidden:
1.B and move it to Dashboard: (Edy), (Marius), (GD)
1.C and change the text: (Marius), (GD)
2. Remove it: +0.5 (Marius), +1 (Vincent)
Some questions:
a. Do we have a procedure for deleting pages from l10n? a way to retire
them? (some property in l10n + removal from the release script = [2])
b. Do we have a procedure when the translations of a page change path?
(like moving from Main space to Dashboard space = [1.B])
c. Do we have a procedure for deprecating the whole content of a page?
(let's say we don't do the move, we keep it in Main, how do we mark that
the whole content is changed in English, but needs to be updated in the
other languages? = [1.C])
Thanks,
Caty
For me we should definitely not have some welcome message in the
Dashboard
app anymore. It’s not its purpose.
Thanks
