Hi devs,
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-16119 wants to make the Notifications /
Activity Stream look nicer.
I've made a proposal at
https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Notifications11x/
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Caty

Some comments:
* The Alert area has a UIXP and the Notifications are just one UIX for that UIXP. The
Watchlist settings are another UIX and today the License Application also contributes a
UIX.
* I’m not sure yet how much we would need Sticky Events since today the missing License
warnings are implemented as a UIX and not as Notification Events. I don’t think we really
have a need right now. Feels nice but not sure about it in practice.
* Collapsible settings: I don’t see the arrow for the Notifications UIX. What is called
Notifications is actually a “Watching” UIX.
* “Social Events”: I’m not convinced that we should mix mentions with notifications. IMO
that makes it hard to see the messages. I would use a different system for mentions and
have a different UIX in the Alert menu for them.
Thanks

Hi Caty,
Ok, then we don't implement them as Sticky Notifications, but the UIX could
take the styling from Notifications.

What is called Notifications is actually a “Watching” UIX.
Maybe we can add the expanding activator with JS. The idea if that I've
tried to hide the Watchlist area. The watchlist has also a lot of automatic
behavior that auto-watches the pages created by you, etc. The manual
watches should be done by advanced users. Also they take a lot of space and
they are not really usual for Notifications areas. So that's why I've tried
to hide them.
* “Social Events”: I’m not convinced that we should
mix mentions with
notifications. IMO that makes it hard to see the messages. I would use a
different system for mentions and have a different UIX in the Alert menu
for them.
We already integrate them in Notifications. I just restyled them in order
to fit the new UI. The Message Stream has their own templates, and they
follow a different pattern of event display.

If you hide this UIX by default then you also prevent its discovery so I’m not sure it’s a
good thing. I don’t think that the manual watch is something for advanced users at all.
For me it’s useful whenever you want to watch a page that you’re interested in (you may
not have created or contributed to it with a major revision).
If OTOH you have collapsible UIX and the state is saved in user cookies then I don’t see a
problem.

Sure that’s a good goal but we need to be careful to not make it non-discoverable too so
that’s why I’m a bit worried. For me this is really the entry point of the watch feature
ATM.
