Description

• User types
  • Wiki novice (default)
  • Wiki expert
  • Wiki developer

The idea is to extend and make more visible the different types of users in XWiki (for the moment : basic/advanced). When creating a new user, this type would not be set. If the context user has no type set something like this would appear on Main.WebHome :

Hey there! Welcome to XWiki!
First, please tell us what kind of wiki user your are (click on the corresponding box) :
