6		-Here is a summary of what people said about making XWiki Enterprise easier to use.

9		-Work in Progress
10		-{{/warning}}
11		-
12		-== User Interface ==
13		-
14		-=== Dashboard ===
15		-
16		-==== Spaces ====
17		-
18		-* Give more information about each space
19		-* Use the title of the space's homepage as a title for the whole space
20		-* Create space descriptors?
21		-
22		-==== Recent Changes ====
23		-
24		-* There should be no changes displayed when starting a new wiki
25		-* Since a new wiki has had no activity going on, why are some modifications displayed?
26		-* System page modifications should be hidden for normal users
27		-
28		-==== Tag Cloud ====
29		-
30		-* The tag cloud is hidden at the bottom of the list of spaces and hard to see
31		-
32		-=== Page Actions ===
33		-
34		-We should have only information available from the view mode, not stuff scattered all around the place, the user should be able to see 3 main things:
35		-
36		-* where am I?
37		-* what am I doing?
38		-* what can I do?
39		-
40		-Things should be easily answered by looking at the page. Right now we do not have a functional model that encompasses all this.
41		-
42		-==== Action bar ====
43		-
44		-* move the action bar (edit, show, watch...) closer to page content
45		-* shortcuts should be described in the action menu
46		-* use icons in the action bar to make it easier to understand
47		-* splitting the action bar between local and global actions and create 2 menus
48		-** global one -> administration, create new content, manage watchlist
49		-** page menu -> actions related to the current page
50		-
51		-==== Logged-in / Logged-out ====
52		-
53		-* When not logged-in -> edit action is hidden
54		-** display the edit action as disabled to let people know it's a wiki
55		-** on a public website you don't want to see the action bar for guests anyway
56		-
57		-==== Page creation ====
58		-
59		-* streamline the link creation process -> make it faster, more simple
60		-** make document information more visible
61		-* page creation panel on the right side that isn't good
62		-** when in the blog interface, it duplicates the creation panel (context issue)
63		-** should be a button
64		-** where is the page created? which other pages is the created page related to?
65		-** all create actions made contextual to the wiki (from treeview, from wikilinks)
66		-* add tags, categories when creating a page
67		-
68		-=== Titles ===
69		-
70		-* page title issue -> name vs title, it's confusing
71		-* use document titles instead of page names as much as possible
72		-** uniform name management when creating new pages
73		-
74		-=== Avatars ===
75		-
76		-* comments lack the user avatar
77		-* make user avatars easy to use (macro)
78		-
79		-=== Other ===
80		-
81		-* too much information in search results, in the dashboard -> when you open it for the first time there's a lot of information but the user doesn't know where it comes from
82		-* create panel should be improved -> create space is in the wrong place
83		-* treeview navigation is confusing, it's hard to understand its logic right now
84		-* information about comments, attachments, history to put at the top of the page? -> nobody sees them
85		-
86		-=== Consistency ===
87		-
88		-* same skin for the administration as for everything else
89		-* unify the looks of the edit and view mode
90		-** in-place editing
91		-** same place, same configuration, nothing different but the edit
92		-
93		-== Configuration & Administration ==
94		-
95		-=== Configuration ===
96		-
97		-* first interaction -> first thing the user sees when the homepage is displayed -> display additional information for the first time -> steps you have to do to configure your wiki. Basic steps required to make your wiki work. Popup?
98		-* hidden pages / spaces -> all pages in the space are hidden = hidden space?
99		-
100		-=== Administration ===
101		-
102		-* New spaces appear once I've logged in as an Admin. Why?
103		-* Create accounts for new users -> I don't really know where to go.
104		-* What is the order of icons in the administration? Why is it like that?
105		-** Explanatations for each item in administration (captions, tooltips)
106		-** Why OpenOffice? What is it doing here? It's an option.
107		-** Registration is confusing
108		-* Administration: drop-down & "Show available categories" button put together. Why is that so?
109		-** The drop-down menu isn't self-explanatory, it doesn't tell anything about itself
110		-** "Add new user" should be at the top of the page
111		-** Clicking on "Create new user" launches a popup -> various interaction styles
112		-*** what's mandatory, what's optional?
113		-*** no error messages, information gets lost
114		-*** email field not used by default
115		-*** automatically generate a password for the user (-> invitation manager)
116		-*** configuring registration options / process in XWiki in complicated
117		-*** **email addresses are hidden in the user profile**
118		-*** user profile -> actions are not in the right place
119		-** put user into a group
120		-*** group names suck, system groups are not identified as such
121		-*** edit button -> what am I editing, group name of group members? Right now renaming a group will break configured rights
122		-*** on a group page -> "add user to group" button
123		-*** local & global users -> what does that mean on a standard XE instance?
124		-** configuring rights
125		-*** rights inheritance
126		-*** it's dangerous to change XWikiAllGroup and XWikiAdminGroup rights yet it can be done easily
127		-*** the deny warning is painful
128		-*** select the rights you want and then apply them -> make the rights transactional (button to save)
129		-*** revert rights to the default setting button
130		-*** describe every right and explain how to set them
131		-* sometimes configuration cannot be achieved but through objects -> an interface should always be available to make this explicit
132		-** hide technical pages even from admin, the admin shouldn't see everything -> like in windows, let people see / hide hidden documents
133		-
134		-== Help ==
135		-
136		-* Add an "Help" panel between Search and Quick Links
137		-* Make the link to the user guide more obvious
138		-* Contextual help
139		-* Make the help more obvious
140		-** when there's only one user in the wiki, display all the help, message disappears once another user has been created
141		-* make the user guide easier to find, it cannot be found easily right now
142		-
143		-== Language ==
144		-
145		-* Create language-specific distribution
146		-** Select the language from the installer
147		-** Choose the language of your wiki from the installer
148		-* translations are painful and confusing to setup -> hard to find, hard to set, translations don't appear in all pages at once, when on a given page it's hard to know in which languages it has been translated.
149		-** lack of feedback when setting up translations
