Hi Caty and all,
It’s very nice looking! :)
Some questions:
* What is the alert bell doing?
* What is the bubble doing? Sending some message to a user? :) That looks nice.
* What is the email icon doing? Sending some email to a user? We’ll need to implement that
(not hard) since we don’t do this ATM.
* Those are nice features which could be backported to the LT too as actions maybe?
* The groups listing is nice although the implementation may not be that trivial for perf
reasons
* IMO the filter should be a search with the full power of the search, just restricted to
pages with XWikiUsers objects.
Actually I would love to see a new layout for search results and have a search macro to be
able to put the search on any page with the ability to configure not having the facets
displayed and to specify the layout to use. It would be awesome too that the search would
offer some UIXP to display a type of search results. For example here, based on the
XObject type, find a UIX in the wiki that has the code to display a user object.
If we could do this then this user directory view would only be a matter of using this
search macro and we could use that in lots of other places in very nice ways.
In summary this idea is a generalization of what you’re proposing.
If I were to implement your idea Caty, I would explore implementing it this way.
What do others think?
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: I remember discussing this somewhere else but I don’t recall where.

Well the livetable will not be removed, you will still have it in the other

The "Filter..." would mostly/at least filter by name, but it depends how we
implement it. It would be nice to be able to make advanced queries like
"group:XWikiAdmin group:Committers SAS" or look for email addresses, but
this is just wishful thinking.
It's hard to find a replacement for the filtering capabilities of the
livetable and this is not the purpose of this proposal. Unfortunately the
livetable is not necessarily good looking and suited for all the use cases.
Users are expecting User Directories / Indexes / People / Contacts to look
in a certain way, and currently that is proposed by using cards.
Thanks,
Caty
