As an administrator I think it has sense to be able to administrate both the current (sub)wiki you are visiting and also the home (mainwiki). The "main" and "sub" is transformed in "home" and "wiki". The menu displays the hierarchy: Home > Wiki > Space > Page and is also consistent with the way our cascading works for our preferences (rights, etc.) In the proposal there is http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/HomeMenu/HomeM… Although this is not currently implemented, the idea is that we could also list for example the "Users Index" a.k.a the "User Directory" (especially since workspaces have only global users and the directory is located in the main wiki). In the proposal I've used " *** Index" in order to have a consistency between the index/directory applications naming. So the idea is that even if now there is only one entry in the submenu, we could have more entries (if they are related to the Home (mainwiki)). If you are on the main wiki, the menu changes from * Menu in the (sub)wiki http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/HomeMenu/HomeM… in * Menu in the Home (mainwiki) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/HomeMenu/HomeM… The left menu contains items related to 'spatial organization of content' inside XWiki (wikis, spaces, pages) I don't like this proposal because is breaking the content organization hierarchy: home > wiki > space > page. You can consider our current menu to be composed of "Content || User". The "Content" part allows you to create new content and to see your location in the content hierarchy. The right menu is dedicated to User related actions. Also I don't like that it uses the name XWiki. Users want to customize their instance and not even show it's running on XWiki, making it their own. Crowded and serves as a double function. So, my vote goes to Ver. A, but the way it was proposed: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/HomeMenu (Wiki / (sub)wiki) * Home ** Administration ** --- ** Wikis Index/Directory ** Documents Index (Home/mainwiki) * Home ** Watch Home ** Administer Home ** --- ** Wikis Index ** Documents Index Thanks, Caty
