I'm fine with either, 1.A.B.C or 2. I would make it hidden since the rest of gadgets on Dashboard are hidden (Activity, Pages, etc.) and I don't like that the tree displays the Welcome page. The main problem with the move to Dashboard is that we would need to change the path in l10n + deprecate somehow the translated content + find a suitable text to describe the interaction with the Dashboard. In this case the name Welcome would not be that appropriate since it will be mostly Help text, rather than Welcome. Also instructions on how to interact with the Dashboard could be provided by a Tour.
So since we have some technical problems + change of purpose of the page = I think I am in favor of removing it. The only problem is that the Dashboard will look a bit empty, so we will need a proposal for it too. So +1 for 2. Current Status: 1. Keep it: +1 (Edy), +0.5 (Marius), +0.5 (GD) = 2 1.A and mark it as hidden: 1.B and move it to Dashboard: (Edy), (Marius), (GD) 1.C and change the text: (Marius), (GD) 2. Remove it: +0.5 (Marius), +0.5 (GD), +1 (Vincent), +1 (Anca), +1 (Caty) = 4 Thanks, Caty On Wed, Jun 29, 2016 at 12:30 PM, Anca Luca <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 for 2. > > I don't think we need a welcome message in the dashboard anymore. > > On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 5:17 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < > [email protected]> wrote: > > > On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 2:24 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > Hi Caty, > > > > > > > On 21 Jun 2016, at 14:58, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < > [email protected] > > > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > This thread is about deciding on a future for the Main.Welcome page. > > This > > > > page was used as the first gadget's content and was intended to be > > > modified > > > > by the users.
