7 x (+1) 'Already decided'
Q1. **NS vs ND in the UI**
Q1.1 The majority agreed that since the final purpose are ND, we should
display ND in the UI, since it simplifies the mental model of the user.
This implies removing the Space concept from the UI.
7 x (+1) 'Already decided'
Q1.1.1 A consequence is hiding the
'WebHome' name in the UI.

6 x (-0) -> so we will not give an additional option to display NS in the
UI (see Terminal Pages)
> Q2. **Parent/Child**
Parent/Child deprecation is a bit more difficult to calculate, since the
votes are mixed depending on the definition of 'deprecation', not clearly
stated the vote or given partially votes.
The conclusion is that in order not to confuse the user, we should
deprecate the P/C concept.
It will not be dropped from the DB (and will be available if someone
wants
to create additional extensions to display it),
but it will not be
displayed by default in the UI, since breadcrumbs/trees will display the
ND.

Q2.1.2 Don't migrate: the parent/child hierarchy will be lost but the old

The 'migration' got:
3 x (-1)
1 x (-0)
1 x (+1)
Don't 'migrate' got:
2 x (+1)
2 x (+0)
The general feeling is that we don't need to provide such a migration
automatically. Script could be put into place (to transform P/C into ND),
but this should be applied on a case by case scenario.
Other needed script is in order to transform the existing pages from A/B
into A/B/WebHome.

Configuration between P/C and NS/ND:
4 x (-0)
1 x (+0)
1 x (+1)
The general feeling is that this is not needed. There could be an option
from UI/config to turn the P/C relation on, but it would be off by
default.
Q3. **Terminal Pages**
Since we will have 'Terminal Pages' and 'Non Terminal Pages', it was
proposed to have an option in the Profile or associate this behavior
with
the Advanced user role, in order to display a
checkbox ('Create a page
without children') in the 'Create Page' step.
Additional, for the users that have this checkbox selected, if they land
on
a non existing page, instead of being transferred
directly into Edit
mode,
when they click 'You can edit this page to
create it', they will be
directed to the 'Create Page' step, in order to be able to select the
'Create a page without children' checkbox. (Use case mentioned by
Vincent).
Terminal and Non Terminal pages will be displayed
in the Tree, by having
associated an expand icon or not.
This is not enough / right. There's a difference between pages that
don't have child documents (currently) and pages that can't have child
documents (because they don't support it).
Currently I see 2 solutions:
- Instead of '+' symbol we could have like a new icon, a terminal icon,
something like 'ꜜ' in order to differentiate between the 2 types;
- Or for non-terminal pages, we can display the '+' icon and when expanding
have an 'Add child' link;
Maybe there are other ideas regarding 'Terminal Pages'?
Please let me know if I summarized correctly and if others want to cast
additional votes.
Thanks,
Caty
