Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Introduce a 'Create' entry in the menu

Hi, Sergiu Dumitriu wrote: This is the more frequent queries from people arriving to XWiki on their own here. How do I create a new page? Even though we usually provide "seed documents", thus people have only to edit them, it is rather frequent that people want to experiment with the system and use it to create their own pages to hold contents related with their daily work. At this point, the system must face another challenge: how to guide an user wanting to create content easing the decision about where create new pages? I could figure out some kind o method using Document Type and offering a set of templates based on user profiling. I guess templates will define the wiki/space where new documents will be created. To "create" is the action that satisfy the most any new user. It implies power to use the system to accomplish her/his objectives. A clear +1 to this option. As for creating pages from Office Documents. Well, it is an example about how things are doing around! Users frequently use Word to draft contents that will be copy/pasted in a xwiki page. I try to avoid this by putting a number of examples about how simpler tools will be more effective. I do need to come back on off-line edition of xwiki pages to be able to offer a reliable solution. Just my two cents by gathering some users experiences from my environment. Greetings, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team
