[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Improve Wiki Administration

Hi XWikiers, We'd like to refactor the wiki & space administration for XE 1.4. Layout drafts and full proposal are available here : http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ImproveWikiAdministration Summary : * Display the administration features in wiki pages, in view mode (ie : move code from the admin templates to wiki pages) * Merge the current XWiki.WebHome items with the current Administration features in the new UI * Merge the import / export features in the same page * Put the Panels list and PanelWizard in the new UI Tech : * new XWiki.WebHome : direct links (with big icons) to admin categories (a la Windows control panel) * A main administration sheet : XWiki.AdministrationSheet (may be with cascading admin sheets beyond) * Inclusion of XWiki.AdministrationSheet in XWikiPreferences (global prefs) * Inclusion of XWiki.AdministrationSheet in all WebPreferences (quick access to space admin) Questions : * Do we add an "Administration" entry in the top menu bar ? With 2 dropdown items : ** current space administration ** wiki administration * Do we really need the "big icons" page (since all the categories are available from the left column) ? wdyt ? Thanks, JV.
