s/user profile object/user profile document/
Hi devs,
I was thinking to implement the user dashboard as follows:
1/ store the gadget objects for a user dashboard in the user page
(XWiki.username)
2/ add a tab on the user profile to display (and edit) this dashboard
3/ make the Main.WebHome display the user dashboard when a user is
logged in (with various mechanisms to provide nice UX when his dashboard
is empty, etc)
4/ add a configuration flag in the user class to say if the behaviour
I think a specific related object would be cleaner to not make user
class too big, plus it make easier to see dashboard as an extension.
Important thing is that it's in the user profile object but there is no reason to make it part of user class.
The same way we stopped constantly adding things to XWikiPreferences
class for not deep core things we should do the same for user class
IMO, plus it makes easier to upgrade.

described at 3/ should apply or not
("display my dashboard on main
page") -- default value to be decided, I would say it should be 'true'.
WDYT?
Appart from my comment about user class this sounds good, +1
I will start a proof of concept of this these days...
Thanks,
Anca
