Hi devs,
So after discussing the topic of Nested in several mails, we need to reach
a conclusion in order to start implementing.
There are several open questions that I will summarize. Please cast your
votes in order to advance on some topics and maybe discover what we still
need to agree on.
Q0. **Nested Spaces in model**
+1
No matter the UI decisions we still need to take, we are implementing
Nested Spaces for 7.2 roadmap. The future is still uncertain regarding
changing the model to accommodate Nested Documents, since we can simulate
ND using NS.
Q1. **NS vs ND in the UI**
Q1.1 The majority agreed that since the final purpose
are ND, we should
display ND in the UI, since it simplifies the mental model of the user.
This implies removing the Space concept from the UI.
+1
Q1.1.1 A consequence is hiding the 'WebHome'
name in the UI.
+1
Q1.2 Although the default should be ND, the question is if we want to give
the option to display NS in the UI. This would be implemented as an
advanced and technical option. The main problem is that we might need to
provide UI alternatives for several components (menus, create step, etc.)
There are 2 questions actually:
A) Do we want to support creating non-WebHome documents from the UI?
B) Do we display differently the WebHome documents from the
non-WebHome documents in the UI?
Q2. **Parent/Child**
Q2.1 Deprecate the notion of Parent/Child.
Q2.1.1 Provide a migration to transform the relation into NS/ND. Problem:
the old URLs[A] (bookmarks) are broken + the user is stuck with long
URLs[B] if he wants to keep the hierarchy. Additionally we might need to
provide an extension/configuration to transform into short URLs [B -> C].
Q2.1.2 Don't migrate: the parent/child hierarchy will be lost but the old
URLs[A] (bookmarks) will be kept. The user needs to use NS/ND to create
hierarchies.
Q2.2 Don't deprecate the notion of Parent/Child.
+1, I agree with Thomas.
Q2.2.1 Provide a configuration in the Administration
to switch the
breadcrumbs between displaying Parent/Child or NS/ND. We might need to
provide UI alternatives for several components (tree, breadcrumb
navigation, create, etc.)
Please cast your votes / add comments.
Thank you,
Caty
