I prefer the Admin link by the login, actually.. and the tabbed panels on that page allow easy flipping between space & global prefs.
*shrug* this works, and was a happy medium between the old menus and the 1.0 menus. I'm not sure a "Space" menu makes a lot of sense from an end user perspective.
You're right that if we add SPACE then we might as well add a WIKI menu too... Actions can be done at the page level, space level or wiki level. I'm not sure either although having a SPACE>Export as PDF and WIKI>Export as PDF is nice I think, unless we consider these to the admin actions (which is also possible since they take quite a lot of resources). The admin actions could be scattered in the PAGE, SPACE and WIKI menus (they'd only be visible when the user has admin rights). WDTY? Thanks -Vincent

Hi JV,
Great that you're working on this.
I've looked at the design page and I have some comment (BTW why is the status set to dormant, looks active to me ;)):
Yep.
* I'd put SPACE as a top level menu instead of WATCH so that there's consistency on actions for Pages and Spaces * I'd move Watch Page to the PAGE menu * I'd move Print to the PAGE menu (since it's a Page action)
Basically I'd move all page actions to the PAGE menu and all SPACE actions to the SPACE menu. If we want one then we could add entries like Rename, Delete, Copy, Export as PDF, Export as RTF, etc.
+1, I've updated the proposal (proposal 2) :
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/Topmenurefactoring
* We need to make the menus very simple in the simple mode so we need 2 proposals: one for the simple mode and one for the advanced mode. Also we should only display menu entries if the user has the right for executing the action.
Sure, basic vs. advanced will have to be discussed when we'll have found a consensus on the menu. Obviously we must keep the current behavior on righs check.
* I'm not sure about the Administration menu since it duplicates the Administration button. I think I'd rather we modify the Administration screen to add more stuff. In any case we need something consistent for the admin part.
The idea here was to remove the administration link in the header to keep it only in the top bar. It allow the user to chose in one click what he want's to administrate, current space or the entire wiki.
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent

Hi XWikiers!
We currently have features planned for 1.2M2 with a common point : the xwiki top menu.
Features : - New space admin UI : http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1780 [incomplete jira issue] - Email notifications (aka watchlist) : http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-268 - RSS for spaces/pages : http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/ XWIKI-448 - Improve Admin.WebHome : http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-14 [I'll write later about this one]
To address needs from those features we'll have to add entries in the top menu without breaking our "800x600 users" compatibility. We currently run out of place in this menu, I've made a proposal of refactoring here :

WDYT ?
