Hi, When the XWiki development team wants to introduce some new features or when we need some improvements on existing functionality, I sometimes make proposals on how these features/improvements should look like. You can see some of my work at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/WebHome
IMO XWiki is a great tool for developers because they can change anything they like and make XWiki bend to their will. Also, XWiki talks a lot the 'developer/administrator' language that new users find cryptic. Some also say that the learning curve for XWiki is steep and that beginners have lots of problems in understanding the structure, finding the documentation, navigating, etc. I'm sure every developer that used XWiki as a base for constructing their project got into these 'new user' issues and tried to fix them as best as they could. Although XWiki is an open source project where anyone can contribute, sometimes time is not on our side and makes it difficult to contribute back. I would be very curious on how some 'independent' XWiki developers solved some of the usability issues XWiki is facing: how they made it more easy to use, more good looking, more intuitive, more clear, more simple. Right now I'm thinking on how to improve the homepage, but I would love to see *screenshots* of any aspect that was improved (profile, administration, rights, history, comments, anything). Sharing these screenshots could inspire others make their project better and would step outside the 'just an idea' mode. Also there is a chance we could integrate them in the platform so that everyone can benefit. Thank you for your help, Caty _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
