Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal][UX] Application Within Minutes - Proposal 2

Hi, The proposal is great. Users will love it. Here are my comments: - Details step - I think we should add Application key field. For example, we can have application name "List of our events" that would not fit as a key / URL pattern. In this example a proper key could be "EVT". - Structure step - Lists: I think we should merge "Dropdown", "Check Box" and "Radio button" into a "List of items" in the right panel in the "Standard" inputs section, since "Dropdown", "Check Box" and "Radio button" are the display type of list the user will want to have - I think "Advanced" section (right panel) should also be moved to the advanced configuration of the above "List of items". See what I mean here, at Advanced List section : http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/AWMListManagement - Presentation - We need "Welcome message". That will be the first thing displayed when people visit the application. I think that a "Welcome Message" (user oriented) is different from the "Application Description" (for other admins). - In "Entries livetable fields" the list of all possible fields is not displayed. That forces the user to remember or click "Previous step". We could have a two column table. The left one would be "Available fields", the right one "Displayed fields". A field could only be in one column. - Other - On slide 15, I can read "Add new entry" with an input for the report name. We should just have an "Add" button. App within minute will free the user from setting a page name (using the application key set at step 1) - We are missing the administration section that will enable the user to administer a simple list: add, remove and update list items. See http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/AWMListManagement(a link to it could be added after "Application wizard", slide 15) - I noticed on slide 10, 11 and 12 that list administration seems to be inside the wizard. My concern is that: 1. It does not seem scalable 2. Forcing the user to go through step one, then look for the list he is looking for (only simple lists need that admin) seems like a painful process. At some point we should also do a review of the terms used. For example I am not sure "Label" for properties name is the best word. "Name" would make more sense IMO.
