Re: [xwiki-users] Silly question about user documents

Some organizations may want users to have the ability to have their own Space (perhaps for doing their own blogs, etc..) and manage the security for it themselves in addition to Spaces for Depts, etc… David K.

Sounds like a very useful idea that would help XWiki become better for meeting the needs of the Enterprise. Why do you think so?

We're doing something like this in our skin. Each user can get a username-based space created based on a template. The space name is just UserSpace_xwikiusername and gets tied to the existing xwiki user profile page with mutual links, along with a left menu "My Space" item. To eliminate thousands of spaces for one-time users, we've made it so the user's space is not automatically created: The user has to ask for it by clicking "Create my space" and then a javascript confirmation. The default permissions are private, and "UserSpace_%" is filtered out of things like spaces list and recent documents. Search works the same as before because non-viewable docs are not listed anyway. Our implementation is tied to our environment (very customized, with custom plugins), but would something like this be useful in general?

We need them somewhere separate. One reason for me is that I'd like to separate the "What's New" page into 2: one list for recently modified documents and another list for recent members. For migrating that shouldn't be hard as you can easily pick them out using a query and then do $thedoc.rename(...)
