[Idea] Explorer Application http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/bkg7fblxa6onuh3p (Aug 9, 2013)

Explorer vs. Document Index

The Explorer is not a replacement for the Document Index. Both applications serve different purposes and both are needed in order to make it easier for the user to navigate inside the structure hierarchy

Explorer

Displays only the top level entities and you need to navigate step by step in the hierarchy

Error

Con:

  • Missing the overview aspect (harder to filter for pages with similar names or harder to rapidly find a page you know the name for)
Success

Pro:

  • Better understanding of the hierarchy and grouping of pages inside silos

Document Index

Displays all pages from all over the wiki and let's you filter them by location

Error

Con:

  • No spacial relation between entries, the entries are separated by type (pages, attachments, deleted)
Success

Pro: 

  • You know the magnitude of contributions  (how many pages the wiki contains)
