Hi,
*General Proposal: *
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2
We had already commented on the previous proposals and now this is a new
proposals which is quite different. Does it mean we need to restart the
discussions?
Can we have a *single* location where we can see all proposals so that we
can make our mind. Right now I keep seeing new proposals coming from
different places and I'm not sure anymore what we are discussing about.
It might also be good to gather the points we agreed on on that page so
that we don't restart all over again every time.
Some comments on this new proposal:
* I don't like too much having panels on both sides. I'd prefer panels on a
single side.
* except from Main page, the left sided panels are used only for navigation;
* I don't like the horizontal tab UI
* this way we state that menu is the Primary one, being horizontal
* I don't understand the reason for the arrows on
the left and right. It
looks as if I can click on them and the main content will scroll, is that
it?
* The Projects are presented in an *carousel*: XWiki Enterprise, XWiki
Office, Extensions + other Temporal Thematic Pages (major releases, events,
etc);
* I don't like that the description of the project
is in a panel on the
left. I'd really prefer it to be in the main content area, above XWiki
Enterprise.
* that's like the main purpose on XWiki.org, not especially for XE
* I'd like that the main page explains that the
XWiki project is an
ecosystem of projects.
* this you can see from the big footer
* "see what users have to say..." look
really strange where it's located.
* it's aligned with the target
* Footer looks good
* The 3 big buttons sounds slightly too flashy compared to the rest
* they are made to drawn attention - we can make them less flashy
* We don't see latest modified pages
* every space has custom panels. I don't think is necessary to see the
latest modified pages on the HOME page. If you go to the Documentation
space, you will see this information and also we can add other panels there.
* My biggest complaint: The home page doesn't look
like a community site at
all. This is important. Showing avatars + names would a way to achieve this.
Actually I think I'd prefer that the home be 100% about the community only
and have a link to direct to the XE page. The current home page could be
used as the main home page for the XE project page instead.
* We can make a page like this for the Community space. The ideea was that
the Home page present the project first and gives you an overview of the
site content.
Conclusion: I'd really like to see a proposal where the home page is a
community site proposal showing contributors activities (avatar + names) on:
- extensions (extensions.xwiki.org)
- modified pages in the wiki(s)
- mailing list messages
- code commits
* IMO I think this should be present on the Community WebHome and
Development WebHome.
Thanks

*Main Page: *
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2M…
The main page has a different layout from the rest of the pages;
- The footer<
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgArchitectu…
is
used to have a quick overview on the major topics the website covers;
- just the Main Page has this footer;
- contains just links to major topics for each category;
- The Projects are presented in an carousel: XWiki Enterprise, XWiki
Office, Extensions + other Temporal Thematic Pages (major releases,
events,
etc);
- Right panels contains Latest information;
*Documentation Page Example*:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2D…
- Right Panels are changing according to the space;
- Main Navigation + Left Oriented Secondary Navigation + Breadcrumb;
- Comments enabled for documentation pages
*Projects Page Example*:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2P…
*About Page Example*:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2A…
