I think that is a good idea to make a navigation easy to a simple user, we
could give to user a liberty to customize easily his home page with app who
he want, for the implementation i propose an idea to simplified the
customization:
- Make a page in the admin or in the editing of page who we will display
all off applications of the wiki and under this block we display the actual
home page, and we can added or delete the applications by using a drop and
drag, this idea is appreciated by users.
- and for editing the current app used on the home page we can added a
button edit behind any app, and when we click we display a lightbox to
change this app, the idea to use a lightbox is just to stay on the home
page and make other changes easily.
WDYT ?

Well, there is also another way to tackle that
problem, which is to make
the HomePage easily configurable.
I have never understand why the home should be Main.WebHome, which does
not
seems meaningful, in particular in french. Even
the Main space is weird,
imagine a Hand space in english ;) (WebHome could also seen weird, while
being more usual words that I feel hurt less, and could be ommitted).
So, back on track, why not having an easy way to say, "set current page
as
the HomePage", and to in fact use the
Dashboard itself as the default
WebHome ?
Why the hell should we have to destroy some interface to have a different
home page ?
WDYT ?
Denis, this is essentially what my Home Page Application does.
But it doesn’t solve the main problem: editing the home page when it’s the
dashboard!
And it doesn’t solve the issue of the explanation of the concepts.
And it doesn’t invite the user to modify the home page when it’s a
dashboard.
Thanks
