I think the title field is a bit more important than

metadata
fields, and it deserves some more space. It also encourages people to
write document titles, thus giving more structure to the data.
I'm not sure why writing document titles explicitely is a good thing.
I view it as an impediment. When I write docs with XWiki I don't have
to bother with titles since the title matches my level 1 title. It's a
more natural flow when writing documentation.
I think what we have in xwiki is better than what exist in other wikis
where users have to explicitely enter titles.
However there are some cases when the computed title isn't right (for
example when you put some velocity in titles or when titles are
computed as part of some scripting construct). For those odd cases
it's good to have a title field override and it makes sense to have
that in the metadata.
I'd say it should stay where it is. More, I say it
should be
automatically inserted in the content, like it happens in MediaWiki,
I don't like this too much. While it's good to be consistent with
other wikis I think xwiki is more advanced in this domain so it's pity
to loose that.
The fact that xwiki can auto-generate valid titles in 99% of cases is
a really big plus IMO. The other wikis will use the document name as
the title I guess which is way less good than what we have.
and
it should have a greater importance in the Lucene result score.
This is agree :)
Thanks
