Vincent,
we are more and more on the side of "usage analytics".
While I do not know the statistics module, I think a homogenization and up-scaling of the
activity-stream together with the statistics module would be really useful and would
support the installers or admin into raising usability.
For the AS it's a given since it's unmaintainable as it is (written in wiki pages)
and will be rewritten in Java, taking into account some not currently implemented use
cases.
For the stats, yes it would be a good idea too. First we have to assess performances of
the stats since a big goal is to make XWiki faster and I've heard plenty of times that
stats are disabled because of performance issues so we need to measure that first.
Maybe also spreading the practice of usability testing
would be really useful.
Sure, if you have some process (especially automated) to do that, it would be great.
From a general POV we're already doing some kind of usability testing by having xwiki
open source and releasing often and having users discuss issues on our mailing
lists/jira.
But if you have specific ideas, please shoot, so that we can discuss them :)
Thanks

I know how to do so for search (and had advised that
to Savitha at the time, I could find examples).
I do not know well how to do so for other tasks but maybe this can be found out.

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs Hi everyone,
We're getting close to the end of the 4.x cycle (only one more release, 4.5, which
should be out at the end of January) and thus we need to start thinking about 5.x
(see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/VersioningAndReleasePractices )
As a reminder here are our past themes:
* 3.x: Theme 1: "Building Apps and Distributing them" (This means for example
that the Extension Manager in progress is a key element of XE 3.x. It also means making it
easier to create applications in XE.), Theme 2: "Polishing"
* 4.x: Theme 1 (top priority): Ease of use, Theme 2: Quality
Internally at XWiki SAS we've had a brainstorming meeting with everyone to discuss
what could be the main themes for XWiki 5.x
The result is the following:
Theme: Speed and Simplicity
-----------------------------------------
Mission:
Improve XWiki's usage for new and regular users by improving Usability and Usage
Speed
in order to make XWiki simpler and faster both from a pure performance point of view
and from are user interface point of view.
Technical details:
- Individual Feature Improvement from a Usability perspective including speed of access
(real time updates, commenting in activity stream)
- General Usability Improvements on XE and XEM for simplicity
- Technical Rewrite of certain features (activity stream) for performance or architecture
reasons
- General Performance Improvement of XWiki (page loading, rendering time)
- Bug Fixing in general
+1.
