Hi,
It's never late to give feedback, you're welcome any time :)
* I personally agree with you that the icons are a little bit to big,
but this can be fixed for the RC.
* Yes, you are right about the width of the tables, this problem will
also be solved before the final release.
* However, I don't agree with your idea about modifying users and
groups
sections. I didn't understand much from your proposal below, since
some
of the phrases aren't finished. Btw, it used to be Users & Groups
category together but we decided it's best to separate them,
especially
when you have a very large wiki, with hundreds of users and groups to
search for. More, I don't understand your concept of adding a group
to a
user and setting rights by clicking on the group's name...it just
doesn't seem natural to me. So I find your proposal a bit weird, but
this is only my opinion.
Actually I agree with Squirrel on one point which is that it's more
natural that when you want to add a user to a group you go to that
user and click on a button to add groups for that users. That way
you'll also see the current groups the user belongs too which we
cannot see right now and that's a pain. It also scales much better
since there are more users in a group than groups for a user. Also
software that I can think of know also do this.
However this is a bit of work so we won't have the time to do this in
1.5. Let's discuss it here to see if others agree but this is a
feature I'd very much like too.
So WDYT?
Thanks

* What exactly do you find puzzling about space
administration? It
contains (for now) 3 entries: the Presentation (where you can
customize
the layout at space level), the rights to be set at space level, and
panel wizard, which allows you do choose how to display the panels
(right, left, none or both). It it seems cluttered, you can just
remove
both panel columns and make more room. In a future release, these
space
sections will include more application admin pages, like the Wiki
Administration contains now (Blog, Photos etc).
Thanks,
