...
  lucaa - (16:59): I would need this to be able to
implement the Main.Dashboard page as a dashboard with gadgets
...
  lucaa - (17:01): any opinions?
 jvdrean - (17:03): lucaa: what do you need exactly ? having macros in the default
enterprise won’t resolve the PR problem right ?
...
  lucaa - (17:03): well, i would like to implement the
Main.Dashboard as a dashboard with gadgets
...
  lucaa - (17:04): and since gadgets are macros, the
components of the Main.Dashboard (spaces, recent changes, tag cloud) should be
macros
...
  lucaa - (17:04): now, they could be java macros, but
the problem is that they will be harder to modify
...
  lucaa - (17:04): which I don’t like, in general
 lucaa - (17:05): another solution is to use the {{include }} macros and leave them
as pages...
...
  lucaa - (17:05): but
 lucaa - (17:05): in this case
 lucaa - (17:05): they won’t be configurable using macro parameters
 lucaa - (17:06): the good part though, is that anyone with edit rights would be
able to change them

Actually only global visibility (across wikis) needs programming rights.
Local wiki visibility only requires the user to have edit on the macro
document. See
 org.xwiki.rendering.internal.macro.wikibridge.DefaultWikiMacroManager#isAllowed

We still need to agree we want to have wiki macros in the default wiki.

Jerome.
