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.
UIXP are very good at adding new extensions, but not that great in removing
/ controlling those extensions. Currently this is done through Velocity
conditions, but a more generic Visibility or Registration scope would be
ideal.
The topic of controlling the content menu area is present in many other
proposals and it affects the users especially in AWM apps. Being able to
remove the classic Create page button with a Create entity button is the
end goal. Also having dedicated Create buttons for Wiki Index (Create
Wiki), User Index (Create User), App Index (Create App), etc. would allow
users to have a dedicated Create / Actions area that is customizable
depending on the context.
Thanks for your comments. Indeed, this proposal is not a final one and it's
more of an exploration of what we should do in the future.
Thanks

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

PS: I remember discussing this somewhere else but I don’t recall where.
