Of course we will have to provide the import feature in a template.
I'd even see a minimalistic initialimport.vm template included
(instead of contentview.vm) by view.vm if there's no pages in the
database.
Yes.
After thinking twice (thanks Vincent ;) I think that it's a good thing
to have this "big icons" screen :
* Faster access to the admin features since this page is more likely
to load fast than the first "general" section of the admin.
* Having visual marks is a good thing.
* It's shiny :)
JV.
* new XWiki.WebHome : direct links (with big icons) to admin
categories (a la Windows control panel)
* A main administration sheet : XWiki.AdministrationSheet (may be
with cascading admin sheets beyond)
* Inclusion of XWiki.AdministrationSheet in XWikiPreferences (global
prefs)
* Inclusion of XWiki.AdministrationSheet in all WebPreferences (quick
access to space admin)
I think we must have the admin features (at least some of them) even
if the database is empty... Like import/export at the very minimum ;)
Questions :
* Do we add an "Administration" entry in the top menu bar ? With 2
dropdown items :
** current space administration
** wiki administration
You mean to replace the current Administration link?
* Do we really need the "big icons"
page (since all the categories
are available from the left column) ?
If we decided not to have the icons then we need a welcome page rather
than going directly to the first admin configuration page. And on that
page we must list all admin features and explain what they configure
so that the user doesn't have to try them all before finding the one
he wants. So we might as well have some icons on that page IMO.
