Hi,
Yes it would certainly encourage my users to edit - at the moment its not
obvious that a page can be edited, so they don't even try and just think its
a normal uneditable website.
On another wiki the right hand menu bar only appears when you move your
pointer to the right hand side of the screen, so you effectively have more
room for viewing the wiki content and only have a menu bar when you need it
- thought that might be a cool feature for xwiki but how to do it I'm not
sure.
Regards,
Richard

Subject: [xwiki-devs] Display the edit button even when not logged in?
Hi,
I was looking at a wiki tonight and I noticed there was an edit
button even though I wasn't logged in. So I clicked on it, and then I
was told that if I wanted to edit the page I had to register/log in.
I found that this was very nice since:
* Users are tempted to click on the edit button and contribute
* It clearly shows to users who don't know wikis that they can
contribute content
I think we should have this feature in XWiki. I would even go as far
as proposing that it be on by default.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
