The problem: When a new wiki administrator uses the registration application, they are faced with a set of fields with names which are too short to explain what each field is for. eg: Boolean field named: "Check Active fields for user authentication"
To a new administrator, this is confusing and it's not apparent where to look for an explanation.
Proposal: I would like to add fields with names which are links to descriptions of what those fields are for. I can implement this in the "configurable" class which I am working on.
This means XE would have links to xwiki.org but it already does on the dashboard explanation of tags.
WDYT?
I don't like it too much. IMO XE should be standalone. This is why we've taken pains to have the syntax guide directly in XE for example. The reason is simple: you can install XE locally and have no internet access. We do have a solution for field help. I haven't used it myself but I'm sure others here can comment on it. It's used for example on the XWiki SAS intranet, something like this: http://tinycoke.com/_6rXVfMRfwk2/screen_shot_2010-02-11_at_8.39.20_am.png WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
