Hi Vincent, This is getting closer to what I had in mind but not exactly. What I am suggesting is the ability to tag a user's name anywhere on the xwiki\. It would work as follows:
- type "@" - a dropdown menu appears with all usernames - select a username - that user will then be notified that his/her name has been mentioned, with the link the the location of the mention. For example I could write in the comment section: "John, should we meet tomorrow to discuss this page?" The tagged name "John" could appear in a different colour being a link to his profile; and he will somehow be notified of this comment when he logs in. Without this feature, he may not notice my comment.
