Re: [xwiki-dev] Removing the Navigation panel

We all (Sergiu, Marta, Catalin and me) agree to remove it and thus I've gone ahead with it and it's now removed. With this email I'd like to make sure this is ok with everyone. I have added a new Panel called Quick Links which presents links to the most important pages on the wiki. Now I'm having some second thoughts. The Quick Links is great to navigate in the default wiki. The issue I have is the following: - We have a Create Panel and thus users are going to use it to create pages. This means their pages are not going to be linked from an existing page and thus the only way to browse them will be either though the Search or through the Index page/Treeview page. I think this is not enough as it's too long to require users to click on Index and search for their pages to access them. Of course they should create a navigation (as we're doing on xwiki.org for example) but they might need some practices before realising this. I think I'd be ok to add again the Navigation panel but we should exclude by default all the pages that have a quick links. WDYT? Any better idea? <some time pass/> Ah I have another idea. We could have a Navigation Panel showing pages that have no link to them (we need that anyway and we need to add that to the AllDocs page too). In that way any page that is linked could be accessed through their navigation and pages that are not linked can still be accessed easily. This should try to encourage users to create navigations without penalizing them . WDYT? I'm not sure whether I understand the situation fully, but want to raise the question that how these pages without links to them will co-op with other interfaces of xwiki ? (like XMLRPC for an example ) ? will they simply be ignored ?
