[xwiki-devs] New xwiki.org web site
Hi everyone, We now have a new version of the xwiki.org web site up and running on http://xwiki.org Let us know if you find any issue. I'd like to thank the following persons who helped: - Laurent Lunati for the skin - Thomas Mortagne for helping me with the migration - Guillaume Lerouge also for helping with the migration - Raffaello for the admin part I really like the new site, hope you'll like it too :) -Vincent, on behalf of the xwiki dev team
Look and feel is good. The content of xwiki is now organized in multiple sub wikis (I guess). I feel the quick links section of the old wiki should be back up mentioning more or less same quick links on right. Like currently dev guide has been moved to platform and user guide to enterprise and so on. Unless we navigate to the required sub wiki we have no way of knowing how the common or most used content is now placed. Thanks Sachin vmassol wrote:

Every sub wiki has the quick links panel. There's even now a general links panel for quick links that span across sub wikis.

Yes, that's on purpose. The site is growing with the addition of several products (XEM, Watch), so we can't put all the links from all the subwikis in top level panels as they will become too cluttered and will take pages. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the user to choose the product he wants to know about... Thanks -Vincent

yes you are right. If you refer to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ there is no quick links in this wiki. This is the root wiki where most of the users would reach first. So a quick links (same as the old quick links) would be nice, as user can navigate directly to the required page which has now been migrated to respective sub wikis. Thanks Sachin vmassol wrote:

What would you put in it? If the answer is the same as the old panel then I doesn't look right I think since it would only contain links for XWiki Enterprise and not for the other products . You need to realize that the old www.xwiki.org has been replaced with enterprise.xwiki.org. Now that said I don't feel I'm answering your need. Maybe you could explain why you think it's too complex/hard/unintuitive for a user to click on XWiki Enterprise if he wants to see the doc for XWiki Enterprise :) Thanks Sachin -Vincent

Firstly user might not know xwiki has been replaced by enterprise.xwiki. I also came to know this just now. secondly you may place the following: * Features * Documentation o User Guide o Programming Guide o Administration Guide * Installation you may also add some other important page of each of the subwiki that you feel user should know.

We can't just put Features since it doesn't mean anything. Features for what? Platform, XE, XEM, Watch, etc? -Vincent

Halo, is the new (an beautifull) skin created only for xwiki.org or will be in standard instalation of XWiki Enterprise. Structure of site is for me good but newbies can be puzzled. Thanks Zdenek Machac Vincent Massol napsal(a):

It'll be available for everyone in the near future. we need to make it generic, save it in SVN and package it but then this is done it'll be made available to all as the main skin by default.
Structure of site is for me good but newbies can be puzzled.
How could it be improved do you think? Thanks -Vincent
