Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki.org skin improvements

Hi devs, While thinking about what features a Technical Documentation Flavor [1] should have, I came up with some ideas that we could integrate inside xwiki.org in order to make it a better documentation website: - navigation tree in the left panel, see -- http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/Flavors/ TechnicalDocumentationFlavor/ExampleXWiki/WebHome/xwiki_doc_partial.png compared to -- http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation - simpler skin (at least remove the comments area - lots of deprecated questions/answers and we have now the forum for that) - simpler menu (less entries + merge with the navbar if technical possible now, otherwise wait for newer version) - simpler footer area by removing the number of links displayed (we need to look at mouseflow) Would be great also to upgrade XWiki.org to a newer version. There were all sorts of ideas in the past like: - displaying 'Edit' also for unregistered in order to encourage edits - display 'Register'/'Log-in' links in the navbar in order to encourage edits these are not part of the current proposal, but keep the ideas coming :) we will try to implement them when we can. Of course it would be great if we would had time to: - update the docs content - reorganize pages - update the blog styling - etc. but I guess small changes will come in time. Let me know what you think, Caty [1] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Flavors/ TechnicalDocumentationFlavor/
