Hi,
Some users consider the rights manager to be a bit to complex, so the
purpose of
this extension is to offer an alternative (simplified, even
though it will have less options), while still keeping access to the more
advanced (i.e. the default ui). While the concept for the new ui is still
subjected to change, it will probably be basted on dropdown menus with
predefined options like (view, view edit and comment etc.).
Regarding the name, we will stick to "Rights UI Simplifier" and for the
repo, unless someone proposes a better prefix than application, we will
stick to "application-rightsui-simplifier".
Sorry about the private jira reference.
So the idea is not to simply the existing Right UI but to add another UI.
And I guess you’ll implement it as wiki pages.
So I propose instead:
"application-simplerights"
I don’t think we need UI in the app name since that’s implied already. And
I don’t think we need the “ier” suffix since it’s about providing a new UI
and not making modifications to the existing one.
The idea is to hide the existing one behind a simplified one. We do not
expect it to be fully removed, because the capacity of the simplified one
will not be sufficient for advanced cases. But, the new right UI will be
seen first using the same entry point as the current one, and from this new
one you will found a fall back to switch to the advanced one if ever needed.
I hope this clarify why we have proposed “ier” in the first place.
What I do not find really right here, is that it will not be an
application, most of the content will override existing standard UI pages,
and integrate fully. So I was not seing it as an application, but I have
not found a better name either.
WDYT?
Thanks

Thanks,

What is your extension doing exactly? How does it plug into XWiki?
I would also like a jira project for this app.
I can create this for you once we define the proper name.
