I think I prefer to keep the Administration link as it is now for 3
reasons:
1) It keeps the menu simpler and we don't need as much space for it
2) Users are used to it
3) Admin is different from the rest of the actions so we have the top
menu bar for users and the admin separate for admins
See my comment in the other thread about the Administration page. My
preference goes to a Control Panel admin page. Having a menu won't
allow for scalability. It also won't solve the issue of admin areas
for applications (XARs).
WDYT?
Thanks

I'd also move the Print menu inside the Page menu as "Print this page"
I'd remove the Access Rights from the Edit menu and move it inside
the Administration Panel.

Hi JV,
Great that you're working on this.
I've looked at the design page and I have some comment (BTW why is
the status set to dormant, looks active to me ;)):
Yep.
* I'd put SPACE as a top level menu instead
of WATCH so that there's
consistency on actions for Pages and Spaces
* I'd move Watch Page to the PAGE menu
* I'd move Print to the PAGE menu (since it's a Page action)
Basically I'd move all page actions to the PAGE menu and all SPACE
actions to the SPACE menu. If we want one then we could add entries
like Rename, Delete, Copy, Export as PDF, Export as RTF, etc.
+1, I've updated the proposal (proposal 2) :
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/Topmenurefactoring * I'm not
sure about the Administration menu since it duplicates the
Administration button. I think I'd rather we modify the
Administration screen to add more stuff. In any case we need
something consistent for the admin part.
The idea here was to remove the administration link in the header to
keep it only in the top bar. It allow the user to chose in one click
what he want's to administrate, current space or the entire wiki. > On Oct 9, 2007, at 7:37 AM, Jean-Vincent Drean
