Hi Guillaume,
I have started a new discussion [1] on the topic of the new location of the
Add menu in Flamingo which is, IMO, the real problem here.
Regarding your actual proposal, I`d be inclined to -1 it, as IMO it makes
basic CRUD operations on the wiki model harder to perform (i.e. harder to
find), and what we`d like to do is help people create content and
structure, not the other way around.
Thanks,
Eduard

Hi,
We improved the things a bit by implementing
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10928
Now users can more rapidly create pages by using the implicit value of
'Add'.
Having all the option (Create Wiki, Create Space, Create Page) in the menu
is important IMO since you can create spaces (and wikis) from anywhere in
the wiki. You don't need to be in a certain location to do this action.
I agree about having a Space Index of some sort and have a consistent way
of localizing/navigating Wikis/Spaces/Pages. Something similar to this idea
was the Explorer proposal
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ExplorerApp
Another related issue to this subject is
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9440, but again I think XWIKI-10928
<http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10928> improved the problem.
Thanks,
Caty

Hi Devs,
I'm currently testing XE 6.2, it's a great release, I love the new look a
lot - well done guys!
I have a quick remark that is related to the new location of the "Create"
button. I think we should move the "create wiki" and "create space"
options
from where they are located now.
The "Create wiki" button could be moved under the list of wikis on this
page: http://<server>/xwiki/bin/view/WikiManager/
We would probably need a similar "space index" page with the "Create
space"
button there, a bit like what we have on the
dashboard now: http://
<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Dashboard/
The objective being that when doing those create actions, they would be
done with the context of the wikis / spaces that already exist.
What is also a bit confusing for users is that since creating a new wiki
is
much much bigger and less frequent than creating
a new page, the action
should not be available from every single page.
This issue has become much more salient than before to me because of the
new location of the "Create" button. What's your opinion about this?
Thanks,
Guillaume
