Hi Caty.
For the iteration 1, the only issue I see is that the "Add" action is
located in the same place than actions related to the current document. I
remember that we have a lot of discussions about this in Flamingo, to
finally decide to put it in the top menu. So maybe we could anticipate
this.
The main difference between what we have now and what was discussed in the
past is that the current global menu has all 3 types of entities (Wiki,
Space, Page) and Add contained actions to create all these entities.
We also had discussions about normal users that couldn't find easy Copy,
Delete, because they looked in the More Actions zone.
Before we had consistency reasons: we needed to have a generic way to
Add/Delete a Wiki/Space/Page.
Now if we simplify the mental model: we remove space and we separate the
Wiki as a grouping/isolation entity, than we finally can move together all
the actions and consider Page to be an atomic entity.
For the iteration 2, I like P3 (that you have recommended) and P4 (because
the add action is not located with the actions related to the current doc).
I think T2 is good and I don't think the extensibility is limited. You can
add some scrollbars if a lot of options are shown, which will not be the
case most of the time.
When I mentioned the limited extensibility I haven't tough only about what
type option we can display, but also that we need space to:
- enter Page Name
- change Page Location
- maybe display a Tree with the current Page Location
- display Page types
- other?
T2 will need always another step to enter details.
T3 does not present how we create a new Wiki. I don't see it as an
alternative to T1 and T2.
It's an alternative only for the presentation / entering of Page Templates.
The Create Wiki is similar to Create Page (just like the current
implementation), but the activator is another button than the 'Add'
(Page/Child)
Anyway, I think we are going in the good direction to have a less crowded
UI, and I definitively love it!
Thanks Guillaume,
Caty

Hi,
With the introduction of Nested Documents and the removal of global menu,
we are confronted with the problem of moving and redefining the content
of
'Add' action.
The iteration experiments multiple possible alternatives of the 'Add'
location and look, read more
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedAdd
My recommendation is to:
- Move the 'Add' (page/child) button inside the content area and display
it
as a button;
- Move the 'Add wiki' functionality inside Drawer + Wiki Index;
- Select the page template from the dedicated create action page;
Feedback is welcomed.
Thanks,
Caty
