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).

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,

Hello Vincent,
I'm +0 for (3), because as you said, sol5+sol6 it's more likely to be
chosen, but I think this will not be sufficient. Displaying a (future)
Document Tree Macro on Dashboard it will help a lot the users to find out
where are the documents localized in the hierarchy or at least have a big
picture about it, without entering every page and check the breadcrumb.
And they can't use the Go To functionality if they don't know previously
where the document is localized.
But that's just my opinion.
Thanks,
Gabriela

-0 for (1), because even though it takes less time to display a list of
top
level nodes, I don't think it's achieving
the concept of Nested Spaces
(Documents), since what will be shown it is what is shown now, without
the
Nested Spaces concept implemented.

See also my proposal (3) in my previous answer on this thread.
WDYT about it?
