Hi,
This proposal comes as part of the investigation on improving the content
of the Homepage.
Instead of keeping all the roles (presentational, navigational,
informational and learning experience) in the same page, I've opted to
separate the 'Learning Experience / Documentation / Help' in a separate
space/application.
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/HelpCenter
This proposal is done on a new skin proposal (which is partially
represented and not finished, missing: contextual menu, comments zone,
header, etc.) that could be our new skin structure for the 4.x. The layout
is done using Bootstrap.
What this proposal fixes:
- better separation of the application and their purposes
- creates a single entry point for 'Getting Started', 'Documentation',
'FAQ', 'Quick Tour' sections
- separates the applications and the information an User or an Admin sees
- better explains what are steps he can do as a new comer
- better explains what are the applications a user can utilize in his wiki
- highlights AppWithinMinutes and ExtensionManager functionality
Thanks,
Caty

Hi Caty,
I had already defined the notion of a Help application so this goes exactly in this
direction so +1 from me to have this help application
(see http://markmail.org/thread/7s3egrdiwuqh32y4 )
I still need to find the time to materialize it in
xwiki-platform/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-help but the idea was to have in it:
* Sandbox pages
* Syntax Help pages
It would be good to make this help app the Help Center you've defined and integrate
both Syntax Hep and the Sandbox inside it.
IMO this can be implemented using the current skin before we start working on a new skin
(I like how your skin looks like in your proposal btw ;)).
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
The Sandbox and the Syntax Help are already somehow integrated in the
'Edit' part of the 'Getting Started'

Hi Caty,
Looks good.
For future reference, recently I've came accross this JS lib that can help
implementing a "user interface design pattern for introducing features of
software." http://jeffpickhardt.com/guiders/ - might be useful.
Great work on the bootstrap based-skin. You've achieve to almost make us
not realize it is bootstrap :)
(I've always thought the main argument in favor of a bootstrap skin is of
course not that XWiki looks like all websites on the Internet, ; but it's
to make it easier to customize and benefit from a already large theme base
- see for example http://bootswatch.com/)
Bye,
Jerome

Yes , might be usefull for the 'Quick Tour' functionality. In my proposal
I've used the Popovers from Bootstrap.
