Changes / Additions / Possible Additions

• Position changed for items:
  • Add menu: "Space"; "Page"; "Page from Office" (+ renaming)
  • Page menu: "Watch page"; "Access Rights"; "Copy"; "Rename"; "Delete"

• Items added to menu:
  • Separators for Add, Space, Page, Edit menus
  • Add menu: "Page from Template"; "Comment to Page"; "Attachment to Page"
  • Space menu: "Delete"
  • Help entry

• Possible item additions if we find them relevant:
  • Wiki/Space menu: "Document Index"; "Dashboard"
    
  • More actions menu: "Send by mail"
    

Improvements

• 1. New "Add" menu
  • Reason: new people arriving want to create stuff (the create options are less visible in their current position)
  • Solution: have a general "Add" menu
    

• 2. Wiki/Space/Page separation
  • Reason: have a complete hierarchy of page location and actions
  • Solution: Adding a visual sign between wiki|space in the global menu to imply hierarchy
  • Consequence: Current action menus separation: (Wiki/Space/Page | User | Content) actions
    

• 3. New "Delete" Space entry and relocation of some Page actions
  • Status: already discussed
  • Solution: added under Space menu entry (can be extended to include also Rename, etc.)
  • Consequence: Page delete action should be near / similar (moved also with "Copy" and "Rename")
    

• 4. Better Wiki/Space naming representation
  • Problem: database naming of Wiki/Space menus are really difficult to understand for a new user or to document
  • Solution: WIKI: Wikiname, SPACE: Spacename, PAGE: Pagename, explicitly state the representation type of the name

• 5. Uppercase usage
  • Reason: "MySuperSpace" looks like "MYSPECIALSPACE"
  • Solution: WIKI: Wikiname (have user entered data unaltered, like space/page names, user names) and use uppercase only for top menu entries
  • Limitations: Colibri skin uses uppercase for form labels, panel titles, buttons, action menu; so we use uppercase for separation or to put emphasis on functionality. Thus, uppercase can't be totally removed from action menus, but we could adjust it to be used just for labeling and separation of menu items

• 6. "TYPE: Name" pattern
  • Usage:
    • "WIKI: xwiki"; "SPACE: Main"; "PAGE: WebHome"
    • "PROFILE: Administrator"
    • "EDIT: Wiki"; "EDITING: WebHome"
