Hi Evalica, Thanks for answer. I added some questions inline. ^^ This is more questions to make thinking that questions that need an answer.

I love this feature !
*Stage wisper, a bit of inspiration for further developments *:
Will it be possible to use thoose streams as a global wiki's news stream ? Including comments, followed page modifications, goup exchanges, etc. Like in Buddypress for example. http://design-keys.org/activity/ http://buddypress.org/community/activity/
Hi Thibaut,
Thanks for your message. This User Status proposal is meant to be integrated with the existing Activity Macro http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Activity+Macro "The Activity Macro listens to the following: create, edit, delete events for pages, comments, attachments and annotations."
Nice ! There is the possibility of making people able to see content directly in timeline that could be another idea for the futur if needed.
* *Going further, a few time ago during UX workshops we imagined an "all is manageable within the timeline" way of having regular user interacting with content. The use case is simple : it is to be used when the user want to see what is new today on the network and to comment the new content - see what new today on the timeline - interact with content staying into the timeline - continue reading what's new today on the timeline Here is the document : http://www.slideshare.net/thibautdeveraux/design-platform-v2-proposition, going to "l'atelier" (in french sorry, it is a long time I'm supposed to make an english version of this concept with enhanced graphics for sharing, always need more time ^^) The limit of such system is the javascript amount a page can handle before becoming to slow. Yet it may give some inspiration.
* About the UX of the proposition* :
I like it, it sounds good as it is keeped simple.
Maybe a few questions about details :
1/ Is it necessary to add the yesterday, today, title between posts ? http://screencast.com/t/RJsu44z7bUSG There is already a "posted xx time ago" and the most immediatly usefull for the user may be more the last post he have read before than the day it was posted.
The information spawn over all the history and with http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-748 we will be able to browse continuously through time. Having Today, Yesterday, dd MM is the best solution to separate content. See http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/
Yes, I understand that "Having Today, Yesterday, dd MM is the best solution to separate content." The question is more : Why the content should be separated ?
2/ Is there a special reason to have changed the order of the "send,
privacy,
references" icones that are used left to right on facebook, to right to left here ? Here : http://screencast.com/t/dhpNDfZ1 Facebook : http://screencast.com/t/Gk2BhGld3 There is no shame to use the same configuration. ^_^' Being like ergonomics users are used to is a good thing.
XWiki has the Vertical forms standard so it's normal to have the button placed in the left, see http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/FormVerticalUsage
Ok so it is as it to keep global XWiki ergonomics standards. Nice.
3/ Why is there "140" printed on the top right corner ? http://screencast.com/t/gOjv4WGe5VVQ Is it because messages are limited to 140 caracters ? I don't really understand why there should be such a limitation on wikis that can be
used
for project management, where people may have important things to share and explain ? Also, having text only small boxes is already limitating lengh of 90% of the messages people naturally enter.
This can be changed or remove.
4/ Why is it always printed "changed status" ? http://screencast.com/t/cBqylv4X Is status notion is a concept that fit with all the use case of this feature ? For example what if people are not be thinking they are updating a status, yet are thinking they are sharing a message with the community ? Also, the act of seeing a small text right near an other user portrait
let
people know this is a message from this persone. This may be enough information, why specifing ? The only reason I see for specifing it, is when there is an usage for it. For example if this is a link to a specific context zone of the wiki where the action took place. it may be a groupe or the user profile.
Being part of the Activity Stream we need to have a separation between actions, see http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ActivityStreamV31
I understand in the case that there is nothing else, but in the case there is a message ?
5/ About the way items are displayed in a page creation case : http://screencast.com/t/ue1Ogbd5gf Why changing the order of message items between a user message case and a page creation case ? http://screencast.com/t/oDJij00HEN I would let's the user read the flow in the same way for each item. Eye habits. Example : http://screencast.com/t/nxWatyS9g
The Activity Stream is page centric and this layout allow multiple entries for a page location, see
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ActivityStreamV...
So this is more complicated that the simple modification I have done to have a inline single look. Anyway, I'm pro having an as much similar formating as possible to make eyes scan easier.
6/ Why adding again the information about the message type near the portrait ? It is already in text and, anyway, I'm not sure the user need it at all. http://screencast.com/t/9UdhOgB4uR7j http://screencast.com/t/ACMMR0S15Q
Icons are more representative than words. It's much more easy to scan for icons than to read the text. That's why the message is duplicated: in order to assure fast scanning but keep the accessibility and learnability.
Yes... Icons are faster to read that text yet can't be here without the text or something that learn user about what they mean. This is why text is sometime doubled with icones, in general. As I told it before, I'm wondering about adding the information : - Adding text + icones ? - adding nothing when there is an user written message only adding text. It is as always a dilema : rich Vs simple. I'm generaly a pro-simple since each people building something has an incontrolable envy of making things too rich. So softwares are generally to rich. This makes them, in fact, complicated because of user over-information. Too many "but what is this ?" makes the user feeling he is not understanding the software. Yet this is just generalities so there not an unique answer here. Evrything is a matter of gobal ergonomics strategy.
Here is a proposal that may be simpler. Of course it depends on the
answers
to my question because I can't know evrything about the specifications : http://screencast.com/t/DNq3MVwLU
Have a nice day
