Hi,
This is a follow up on the initial brainstorming done, see
http://markmail.org/message/hbuhhkxcjodtfxwi
This proposal aims to replace the current Dashboard with a more simple wiki
content page:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/HomepageSketches/HomepageLa…
I would like you to vote on the 2 versions of left panels:
1. AppBar + Pages
2. AppBar
Also provide feedback on the content. I've added the content on this page:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/HomepageSketches/HomepagePr…
in order for you to see how it behaves with the editors. [1]
Regarding the content:
* FTR I had given some thoughts before in
http://markmail.org/message/nqzkxfefty32qmjw
Summary: I’m not fully convinced but I’m willing to give it a try
* I think we need to handle the fact that XWiki should work without internet connection
and the connection to youtube will only works when you have internet connection. Unless we
think it’s ok and admins will edit this page to remove the video if they don’t have
internet connection?
* I was wondering if it was ok to use complex wiki syntax on this page (we use that for
the table at the bottom), but maybe it’s ok and would serve as an example. Although I
think users should probably use the {{container}} Macro instead
(
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Container+Macro). The disadvantage
is that when you edit in WYSIWYG you cannot change content without editing the macro ;) So
taking everything into account maybe what is there is the least bad solution, especially
if we favor WYSIWYG users by default.
* I see the content explains a lot how the wiki works but I thought that was the job of
the tour and from what I’ve seen at
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/HomepageTour it looks very similar. Aren’t
we not providing duplication and does it matter?
* Note that the home page will need to be re-translated in all languages (and we’ll need
to add it on l10n) ;)
* One nice pro is that the home page will load much faster (since the AS is not on it) ;)
All in all, +1 to try it and see what feedback we get.
Thanks

The objective was to have an easy to edit content,
very close to what we
have in view mode.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Caty
