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. JV.
