[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Folder template

Hello developers. I'm here to propose a new template in XWiki to help users creating container-oriented pages. = Problem = UC1: Users don't always understand the Nested Pages concept. They are lost because they know the concept of Folders and Files and they are used to it, and then we ask them to switch to something new that breaks their habits. UC2: Users often need a page that will be the container of some others (think about the typical "Code" space that we have in all applications) and they'd like to see quickly all children of that container. = Proposition = * Introduce a Folder template the user can chose when she creates a page. * This folder template displays the children of the page ** It could even be a Dashboard with the children pages on the left, and an Activity Stream on the right. == Drawback == The workflow of creating a page that is a folder instead of directly create a folder might be confusing. == Screenshots == Screenshot of my proposition are available there: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/FolderTemplate#HScreenshots Please answers your ideas on this mail thread, not on the wiki.
