+1 for the splitting. See below. On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 9:58 AM, Ludovic Dubost <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi,
After having a bit of thought about the XE/XEM Home Page investigations, I don't think the "home page" investigation is relevant.
I'd like to propose to split this investigation into 2 investigations:
1/ "XWiki in the first 5 minutes" investigation
How to improve XWiki's User Experience in the first 5 minutes with simple or more complex changes in the home page but for all initial actions that are made by a user/administrator when he starts with XWiki. The objective of this investigation would be to list small changes that could be implemented in the coming releases and list larger work that would need their own investigation.
Last time Facebook updated user profile (or pages, I am not sure) they implemented a "take a tour" feature that was pretty nice. Basically it was a step by step demo of areas of the new profile page. When you clicked on "next" button it would point to a specific area (greying out other areas, similar to lightbox effect : http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/ Example section), with explainations on how to use it. It was done on the actual page (instead of a video) which made the demo very pleasant. Thibaut
2/ XEM/Workspaces investigation
This investigation is about the next generation Multi-Wiki management including creation of Workspaces with the management of application. New features would be part of that as well as a redesign of the Wiki creation and management UI.
On this matter there is already work in the Wiki 3.0 project with a prototype delivered of this work, which is a great basis for discussion, in which we need to bring some guidelines about the objective of these features as well as User Experience proposals by Cati.
WDYT ?
