Proposal 3: Use Labels instead of Icons, as it’s done by wikipedia.
Personally I don’t like proposal 2 or 3 and if they’re made configurable then it would be
the same issue since we would need to pick a default and we would force regular xwiki
users to have to change their settings which isn’t nice.
Regarding simple vs advanced users, I’m not sure it’s the problem. I’ve experimented this
over the week end (see my other mail) and the issue was locating this action bar and
understanding it. But once it was understood it was very easy to use for the user and he
actually liked that it wasn’t taking too much visual space.
So I think it’s only a discoverability issue and not a regular usage issue.
Another option would be that when the user hovers over the action icons in the default
content for Main.WebHome, (for example if he tries to click on them), that we would
highlight the content menu very visibly or something like that.

Hi devs,
Some users have complained that the content actions are too abstract /
ambiguous and they don't see/understand them so they don't know how to Edit
or Create content in the first minutes of interaction.
More details about this problem can be found at
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions
There I've suggested 2 possible proposals:
Proposal 1: JS Tooltips
Proposal 2: Labeled actions
Forcing labeled actions for all the users may annoy the power users. Some
options:
* make it configurable (from the user profile)
* show labels only for simple users
* show labels when accessibility mode is enabled from the user profile Thanks,
Marius
