Hi Caty,
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/HomepageSketches/HomepagePr…
I've used the table, as you said in order to make it as simple as possible
for the user to edit the page content in a visual editor. The SSX is a bit
problematic, but currently I don't see an alternative.
The table and the video give the homepage a bit of layout and structure.
Removing them would simplify the page very much, but I prefer it to be
nicer.

Hi,
This is a follow up on the initial brainstorming done, see
http://markmail.org/message/hbuhhkxcjodtfxwi
This proposal aims to replace the current Dashboard with a more simple
wiki
content page:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/HomepageSketches/HomepageLa…
I would like you to vote on the 2 versions of left panels:
1. AppBar + Pages
2. AppBar
Also provide feedback on the content. I've added the content on this
page:
in order for you to see how it behaves with the
editors. [1]
Regarding the content:
* FTR I had given some thoughts before in
http://markmail.org/message/nqzkxfefty32qmjw Summary: I’m not fully
convinced but I’m willing to give it a try
* I think we need to handle the fact that XWiki should work without
internet connection and the connection to youtube will only works when you
have internet connection. Unless we think it’s ok and admins will edit this
page to remove the video if they don’t have internet connection?
* I was wondering if it was ok to use complex wiki syntax on this page (we
use that for the table at the bottom), but maybe it’s ok and would serve as
an example. Although I think users should probably use the {{container}}
Macro instead (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Container+Macro).
The disadvantage is that when you edit in WYSIWYG you cannot change content
without editing the macro ;) So taking everything into account maybe what
is there is the least bad solution, especially if we favor WYSIWYG users by
default.
* I see the content explains a lot how the wiki works
but I thought that
was the job of the tour and from what I’ve seen at
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/HomepageTour it looks
very similar. Aren’t we not providing duplication and does it matter?
Initially I had the same feeling. Still we remind again the main actions an
user can do: edit, add, navigate.
* Note that the home page will need to be
re-translated in all languages
(and we’ll need to add it on l10n) ;)
* One nice pro is that the home page will load much faster (since the AS
is not on it) ;)
All in all, +1 to try it and see what feedback we get.
You should also state the layout preference.
Thanks,
Caty
Thanks

The objective was to have an easy to edit
content, very close to what we
have in view mode.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Caty

would
