Hi devs,
I'd like to introduce a Dashboard Application in a
xwiki-platform/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-dashboard/ module.
It would contain the following pages:
1/ Main.Dashboard.xml (currently in XE's app)
2/ The pages making up the user dashboard (XWiki.UserDashboardPreferencesClass,
XWiki.XWikiUserDashboardSheet) (currently in Admin app)
3/ A new page which will have the logic to choose to display the user dashboard or the
main shared dashboard (currently this code is in Main.WebHome in XE's app)
Also I'd like to suggest introducing a Dashboard space and have all the
above-mentioned pages in that space.
Dashboard.WebHome would contain 3/.
And Main.WebHome would simply do an include of Dashboard.WebHome.
Note that this would allow the following:
* Ability to cleanly document the Dashboard feature on
extensions.xwiki.org and have it
visible on
enterprise.xwiki.org for example
* It goes in the direction of splitting our XE XAR in discrete application
* It groups together (functionally) a domain (dashboard) which means that if a user
doesn't want the dashboard feature, we can simply not install it or remove it easily.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
