[xwiki-devs] [UX][Proposal] Recommended extensions on e.x.o
Hi devs, This is a proposal on how we could improve the homepage of extensions.xwiki.org in order to make it easier for users to discover useful extensions. Homepage: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrgExtensionsWiki/I... The main idea is to add a Recommended property to the Extensions class in order to select some extensions that we believe to be of high quality. Having this property will help us highlight this selection on the homepage, by providing a custom livetable (users that will want to browse all extensions should use the 'Browse' action - that will take them to the current e.x.o livetable). Some notes about the recommended livetable, we should: - add a filterble Ratings column - improve the Author column (by providing filtering and a display) - simplify the date format I've tried to make the proposal as simple as possible to implement. Let me know what you think, Caty
Looks very good. 2016-06-27 11:57 GMT+02:00 Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) <[email protected]>:

Looks good but one node: the authors column is not really supposed to look like this. You get the user display name and a link when the author is known so it would look even better ;) On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 12:50 PM, Guillaume Delhumeau <[email protected]> wrote:

Good idea, I like it. However, we should be careful if we use both recommended property and the ratings display in order to not have a recommended application with a low average vote :) On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 1:50 PM, Guillaume Delhumeau < [email protected]> wrote:

Maybe making them more visible it would encourage the voting Thanks, Caty

Looks good. We will have to verify, once deployed, that the fact that "All extensions" is a button that is pretty difficult to get to, instead of being a pre-filtered/sorted livetable that the user could easily change, will not impact the visibility on our 800+ extensions and the user`s don`t perceive that we only have 6 extensions in our repository.
