I forgot one item: * Seems we would have some UIX to add 2 buttons in the edit menu and these UIX would have some conditions so that they’re only visible for the user directory page. It would be nicer to introduce a new Visibility scope for UIX and be able to register them with a page scope to avoid them being evaluated for every single page. Thanks -Vinent

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 view.
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

Looks very nice but it's not clear for me what is supported in "Filter..." input. Would it support filtering on any property like the livetable does ?
Custom columns and filtering on them is the reason why I go to the user index 90% of the time :)

Hi devs,
This proposal displays an additional layout mode for the User Index, where users are displayed using cards. http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/Users/ UserIndex/UserIndexCards/WebHome/userindex_proposal.png
This idea was proposed / discussed by Nicolas Lemoine. The initial purpose was to improve the UI of our User Index.
I've iterated also on some other ideas, like application specific actions integration inside content menu, user actions (send message, follow) in the card display, user groups display, etc.
Proposal: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Users/ UserIndex/UserIndexCards/
Let me know what you think, Caty
