Hi,
When talking with JV about the first 5 minutes experience, we thought about
adding some user roles inside XE.
From the start the user could select his appropriate role inside the wiki
and we could customize his environment according to that role.
We talked about:
- display a "Get started" wizard the first time a user logs in:
Already proposed at:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWiki5MinutesPropo…
- when the user starts/finishes the wizard, he's asked to choose a
role/flavor: (normal, advanced), (user, developer, administrator), etc.
- choosing a role configures the wiki with some predefined values for the
profile preferences;
- a user can later fine tune his preferences.
You can see the proposal at
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/UserRoles
I like the idea in general but IMO the UI isn't clear since you can choose both a role
AND options below but they're exclusive since AFAIU a role is a preset of those
options. This is not clear from the UI.
Thanks
