Hi,
Globally I like it.
Great :-)
Some comments:
1) Link menu item:
* How do we add a link to an email address?
* How do we add a link to a generic URI?
* How do we add an interwiki link?
I forgot about that, I'll add them.
I think all these can be answered by providing a
"Custom Link..." item
in the drop down menu to let users enter whatever format they want. It
would have 3 fields:
- label
- reference (this is the free form)
- target
They might be merged with the "link to web page", I'll try some options.
2) Insert menu item:
* I don't like the "Insert TOC" too much since the TOC is a macro like
other macros. BTW this is true for the table too but here I agree that
table should be in this menu... which means BTW that for the
implementation we need to filter out the table from the macro list...
{table} , {image} , {attach} , {toc} : all of them are macros :-) I put it
there because I feel it has a special importance and is used more often than
other macros, but it would fit nicely under the macros menu as well.
3) Macro menu item:
* Can categories be more than 1 level deep?
* Can a macro be in more than 1 category?
Note: This means that in the Macro descriptor implementation we need
to add the notation of category which we don't currently have (we have
macro description and parameters description).
I'd say 1 macro per category and the ability to add an additional level of
depth if our macro headcount grows too far. Howeverthis might not be a good
idea (too many drop-down menus isn't good) so I'll try designing a dialog
box for macro selection.
4) Import menu item:
* You didn't show the submenu items
You can see them in the feature mindmap right above on the page.
5) Link Dialog Box - Browse tab
* It's missing the ability to link to a subwiki (i.e. the wiki filter)
6) Link Dialog Box - Search tab
* Again missing multiwiki
* What if put the name of an attachment. How do I create a link to it
from the search dialog box?
Look at the image more closely : it shows up as an attachment in the search
results list and you can create a link by clicking on the button.
7) Link Dialog Box - Recently Modified
* By everyone or by me only or both?
I'd say by everyone and provide the author column to let the user filter by
himself only if he wants to.
8) Link to a web page
* Wrong dialog box....
Right, I'll fix that.
9) Link to a new page
* What about a link to a page in another wiki?
* New page title --> New page name. This is not the title!
Right. I'll add both.
BTW In English there's no space before
":"
10) Link Settings
* Not sure I like the fact that you can set tooltip/etc when creating
the link. I'm not sure on this.
You cannot set it when creating the link but when editing it through the
tray (as it is not an important feature). I don't think it matters much and
could be removed altogether.

Hi fellow XWiki users,
I've spent the last couple weeks working on designing mockups for
the new
version of the WYSIWYG editor that's currently in the works.
I've put all my work on this page :
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface
and I'd be glad to gather initial user feedback on these mockups.
Please
tell us what you think about them now so that we can improve the
screens
before implementation begins at full speed.
Specifically, I'm wondering about the following things :
- Can the text be improved to make things easier to understand ?
If so,
where ?
- Are some features harder to reach than they should ?
- Are dialog boxes & trays consistent with user models of how
edition
software usually behaves ?
- Do you see anything that will make an user wonder what's
happening and
where he / she should click next ?
Please note that the colors are only indicative at this stage - a
designer
will improve my work before we get to the final stage. I'll try
incorporate
your feedback soon and will let you know how the subseuent
development goes.
Thanks in advance,
Guillaume
