Hi, This is our main priority between 1.0B1 (coming out beginning of May) and 1.0 (between May and September). We plan to improve the look (polished as you say) with involvement of specialists and the feel (presentation, organization, ease of use features with some in AJAX). We'd love some help on this. We will probably take a Google Summer of Code project in this area. Ludovic Aldo Bucchi a écrit :
Hi all,
I have installed several wiki-ish/collab apps within my intranet so we can test drive them and pick one by the end of the month ( twiki, mediawiki, confluence, xwiki, jspwiki, snipsnap, sharepoint, etc ).
So far xwiki is one of the best from the dev point of view. It is free, flexible ( makes for a nice platform for quick day-to-day inhoues apps ), and 100% java. And since we are all geeks, it makes for a nice toy.
But from the usability POV it lags behind. * Forms and buttons are not polished ( interaction is awkward and feedback is sometimes ambigous ) * There is too much on the screen
I really believe you should focus on improving the UI, as it accounts for a large part of the perceived value... take a look at twiki, confluence or SnipSnap ( and even mediakiwi and it's sound simplicity ). Is something on these lines planned for the next release? Dates?
I am tweaking the templates to see how far I can go, but I'd rather stay aligned with you guys.
Great work ;), Aldo
