What you are saying is very similar to a past proposal for navigation http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ActionMenuNavigati… but that didn't get approved, mainly because of scalability issues . When you click on the wiki/space/page name it should take you there (or the WebHome).

+1. +1. I like moving Access Rights to the Page menu. +1. +1. +1.

Hi Caty, On Jul 1, 2010, at 6:26 PM, Ecaterina Valica wrote: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ActionMenuProposal… ): +1 +1 There are now 2 hierarchies: - the top level menu - the breadcrumb Is that a problem for users to understand what each means?

In addition right now it's hard to navigate back to where you were. Example: you navigate to a page, you realize you want to changer your user profile from simple user to advanced user, you click on your user make the change and you don't have an easy way to go back to where you were.

This is not related to this proposal per see but it may affect it in some ways. I'd suggest we tackle it later on but I just wanted to point it out to not forget it and to have it in mind. +1 Is there a rule for deciding what page level features are moved to the top level menu vs the features that stay in the edit menu bar?

+1 +1 +1 I propose to have those in 2.5M1 if someone come forward to implement it. We can rediscuss this when we start the discussion re the 2.5 roadmap when we release the first RC of 2.4.

My recent views panels is a solution of course but it's not integrated so I think we need something better. Again this is outside the scope of this topic but close since there's some need for rationalization between these 3 ways of nav: - top level menu - breadcrumb - navigation history I'm just discussing this since I'd like us to think about how to improve navigation in the future. >> This is not related to this proposal per see but it may affect it in some >> ways.
