6 +== Improvements ==
7 +
4 4  * **New "Add" menu**
5 -** Reason: new people arriving want to create stuff (the create options are less visible in their current position)
6 -** Solution: have a general "Add" menu
9 +** //Reason//: new people arriving want to create stuff (the create options are less visible in their current position)
10 +** //Solution//: have a general "Add" menu
7 7  
8 8  * **Wiki/Space/Page separation**
13 +** //Reason//: have a complete hierarchy of page location and actions
14 +** //Solution//: Adding a visual sign between wiki|space in the global menu to imply hierarchy
15 +** //Consequence//: Current action menus separation: (Wiki/Space/Page | User | Content) actions

10 -* **Better Wiki/Space representation**
11 -** Problem: naming of Wiki/Space menus are really difficult to understand for a new user.
12 -** Solution: WIKI: Wikiname, explicitly state the representation of the name
17 +* **New "Delete" Space entry
18 +** //Status//: already [[discussed>>http://markmail.org/thread/o7pvzci3lyfdvs6h]]
19 +** //Solution//: added under Space menu entry (can be extended to include also Rename, etc.)
20 +** //Consequence//: Page delete action should be near / similar (moved also with "Copy" and "Rename")
13 13  
22 +* **Better Wiki/Space naming representation**
23 +** //Problem//: database naming of Wiki/Space menus are really difficult to understand for a new user or to document
24 +** //Solution//: WIKI: Wikiname, explicitly state the representation type of the name
25 +
14 14  * **Uppercase usage**
15 -** Reason: "MySuperSpace" looks like "MYSPECIALSPACE"
16 -** Solution: WIKI: Wikiname (have user entered data unaltered, like space/page names, user names) and use uppercase only for top menu entries
17 -** Limitations: Colibri skin uses uppercase for form labels, panel titles, buttons, action menu; so the usage depends on separation or to put emphasis on functionality. Thus, uppercase can't be removed from action menus, but we could adjust it to be used for labeling and separation of menu items.
