[xwiki-users] Idea collection minimal xwiki configuration

Hi Users, After some mails with Vincent and Scott the idea was born to make a strip-down-xwiki guide. The reason for this is the fact that for a lot of novice users, xwiki seems at the first glance to complex to handle. By making a strip-down Guide we hope to make Xwiki more accessible for a broader audience, and thus generate more users worldwide. In order to make this strip-down Guide as complete as possible, I would like to ask all of you to post your thoughts and ideas on this. For starters, here are mine, if they are allready easily solved, let me know: -Make the search function easier to adapt. For instance, I have multiple spaces, and i want that the search function only searches in certain, predifened spaces and shows the results within the space the search was started from. -An easy way to create a template so that users cannot copy paste in whatever form and shape they want, but it shows a line where they can type in the header, and below the content. All in the same style. -An easy way to show-hide the comments box on the bottom of the page. At the moment I use a solution where I include a document with the script to do this in, in every page. This should be dealt with globally, and possible for people without a lot of programming knowledge. -The sandgrains work, but not from one space to another, at the moment I use the include Makro to maintain my saindgrain navigation intact, but it would be far easier if documents from other spaces where I link to, adapt the parent from the space where I started from. -The Logo has a predefined link to the main wiki, which causes endusers in a space, when they click on this, to get to the main wiki page, and it confuses them. I would like an easy way (not by editing the global.vm template!) to personalize this. -A wide spread opinion says, that you can just give users rights to certain documents. But if an enduser can see a document, but not open it, the endusers feels as if there are secrets kept from him. I want an easier way to hide these documents completey, but show them to other users who are allowed to see them in the same space. -Expand and collaps user generated panels If I create panels, their initial state is allways open, I can close them, but when I go to anothere page, it shows the panels open again. Is it possible to make check box within each panel in the panel wizard that allows me to change this? Many of these points here may seem irrelevant to many of the longtime developers, but a lot of questions within this userlist have to do with the usability. For your understanding, I come from a total different corner then most of you. I come from CM, not from programming. But I think if we can work together on this, Xwiki will gain more users in the end. If anyone sees this different, let me know, lets communicate so I can start working on the Strip down Guide. And to all you programming masterminds out there, keep up the great work, it made Xwiki to that what is today, thank you so much for all the efforts. With Kind regards, Wouter
