Hello devs,
as suggested before, I would like to make the main page of the wiki a
full dashboard, namely to relocate the welcome message in a gadget so
that the type of page of the main page is more clear.

See this two
screenshots about how it could look (one is with default style, other is
with panels style).

The default style is cleaner but it's not visible that it's a dashboard, we need
something to make that more visible.
(also
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Design/GadgetIntegration/MainDashbo… ) if
you want to import it in your own wiki and play with it.
I want to discuss the following points now:
1/ is the title "Wiki Dashboard" ok for the main page of the wiki?
Seems ok to me.
2/ Is the welcome message visible enough, is it
accessible to users and
explanatory about what the page is about and what they could do next?
Needs to be improved to be useful but ok to use the exact same message for now till
someone proposes something better. Caty is working in XE/XEM home page in 3.1 timeframe
AFAIR.
3/ what would be the relation now with the old
Main.Dashboard page,
which, as you can see in the quick links panel, is a "Wiki Dashboard"
itself? Should it be the same page? if so, is it ok that the welcome
message appears on the wiki dashboard? if they're not the same page then
it's a bit strange that they're called the same but 2 different pages...
Should we rename one?
Only the wiki dashboard link (Main.WebHome) should be visible in quick links IMO.
Technically the welcome message is written in a new
page, Main.Welcome,
and then included in a gadget in the dashboard. This page can be
translated for getting the message in different languages.
Good idea.
Thanks

WDYT?
