I would also very much prefer lighter preferences *in
general*.. i.e.
break out the big xwiki preferences humungo thing into smaller bits
that can be disabled.. like registration. What if I don't want to
allow registration? It would be nice to set a value in xwiki.cfg, and
have all that registration stuff just disappear. Actually, the "Ad"
stuff is the real bother, I don't use ads. I'd rather not have to even
see them in the config panels.
Point taken for the ability to hide admin categories from the UI (in
xwiki.cfg for example).
Maybe from the main xwiki config panel, enable/disable
things like
ads, blogs, photo album, etc. and if they're disabled, then ...
AFAIK the mid-term idea is to package the default xwiki wiki without
those apps (and let the admin add them later if desired).
And what do you need to admin for the photo album
anyway? Or blog, for
that matter.. it seems like this is mostly to get at the ClassSheet
and ClassTempate... it seems like a more generic mechanism would be
better, like just linking to XWikiClasses...
Yep, FTM the links we have in XWiki.WebHome are a bit useless _but_
about your examples (mid/long-term again):
- blog : categories, captcha yes/no, etc
- photo album : nb of pics per page per example.
