Hi,
This thread is about deciding on a future for the Main.Welcome page. This
page was used as the first gadget's content and was intended to be modified
by the users. In 8.2M2 we changed the content of Main.WebHome page to
provide simple wiki text instead of the Dashboard include, deprecating
somehow the purpose of the Welcome page.
Problem: In the 'Navigation' panel the "Welcome to your wiki" is
displayed
as a child page of "Home". Users might ask what is the purpose of this page.
We could either:
1. Keep it
1.A and mark it as hidden: in order to not be displayed in the Navigation
tree
1.B and move it to Dashboard: instead of being in the Main space, since now
it's used only there.
1.C and change the text: from a generic 'Welcome' message, to instructions
on how to edit the Dashboard (we would need a separate proposal on the
content + if we want to display other gadgets)
2. Remove it
We could consider that its content is deprecated by the new Main.WebHome
page, so no need for this page. So we could delete the page + remove it
from Dashboard. Dashboard could highlight more advanced gadgets (needing
the separate Dashboard proposal).
Let me know what you think,
+1 for 2. It’s not needed anymore since it’s been replaced by the new home page. It’s
better to make the Dashboard useful right away (ie with useful content).
Now, I haven’t checked, but if we still generate subwiki’s home pages with the Dashboard,
I believe we may also want to review this (for some of the same reasons we modified the
main wiki’s home page, such as easiness of editing it) and replace it with a new subwiki
home page.
For me we should definitely not have some welcome message in the Dashboard app anymore.
It’s not its purpose.
Thanks
