Hello all,
The final decision for this thread will also affect Notes application,
which uses Space Index macro.
So please consider this thing too.
See
. I've already thought of a
solution, but the final decision from here will influence a lot the fix .
Thanks,
Gabriela

Everyone seems to agree, so far, that the spaces
macro can be replaced
by the document tree macro. We'll have to decide whether we keep this
macro in the Index Application or we move it to contrib (so that
anyone that wants to use it can install it). I guess we can leave it
in the Index Application for 7.x.
As for showing navigation information (i.e. the document tree) on the
dashboard, most of you seem to find it useful. My only worry is that
we'll provide multiple ways to do the same thing:
* document index tree
* breadcrumb tree (probably)
* dashboard document tree
Moreover, Caty's initial design of the Home page for Flamingo didn't
include the spaces macro
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Skin4xHomepage .
There may be more important information to display on the home page
instead of the document tree (which you can access from the Document
Index).
The focus of Flamingo proposal was not the Homepage.
I've included the macro in the proposals for Workspaces
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/WorkspaceHomepage/H…
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/WorkspaceHomepage/W…
with their main purpose as light navigation.
Still these proposals are focused for the Groupware Flavor. In
documentations the Trees are very important.
I think the breadcrumb tree will be enough for a Groupware Flavor, but we
will need to test it.
Thanks,
Caty

Hi,
IMO, we can use the document tree macro to achieve both usecases of the
previous documents and spaces macros, so no need to have more than 1
navigation macro for this.
+1 for (2)
Re (3), we could wait and see how the tree navigation works out and, if
users find that to be easy enough, we could eventually do (3). For now
however, having some navigation in the dashboard is in line with the
"overview" nature of the dashboard itself, so I think we could keep it.
Thanks,
Eduard
