Hi Caty,
nice work. One thing I often see is that newcomers are a bit lost with how
to use the dashboard -> a link to the documentation about how to use it
would be useful.
In addition to this, many users want to edit the contents of the homepage
and are lost about how to do it. For instance, what if they want to replace
the dashboard with a simple welcome page? I'd like to see this use case
taken into account in your proposal.
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hi devs,
I've made a proposal with some suggestions on what we can change on the
Homepage.
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/HomepageContent
The proposal is divided in Homepage Content improvements and Dashboard
improvements (that still need some work).
The Homepage improvements contains things like:
- Improved Welcome message (a link to the Getting Started guide has already
been added)
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/HomepageConten…
You can see this in action on
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
This proposal would imply adding other 3 external links to:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DocumentLifecycle
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Index+Application
IMO these documentation pages contain valuable information and would also
educate the user on how to make use of
xwiki.org.
- Implement mechanism to hide technical content (in progress by JV)
- Simplify the 'Tags' section initial text
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7678
- Separate Message Stream input from Activity Stream
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7679
The Dashboard improvements contains:
- Improve gadget's container styling in INLINE mode to better suggest
dragging and delimitation
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7681
Please share your thoughts about these ideas.
Thanks,
Caty
