Action Menu Proposal 2
Version 1.13 by Ecaterina Valica on 2010/07/01 16:19
Reasoning
- New "Add" menu
- Reason: new people arriving want to create stuff (the create options are less visible in their current position)
- Solution: have a general "Add" menu
- Wiki/Space/Page separation
- Better Wiki/Space representation
- Problem: naming of Wiki/Space menus are really difficult to understand for a new user.
- Solution: WIKI: Wikiname, explicitly state the representation of the name
- Uppercase usage
- Reason: "MySuperSpace" looks like "MYSPECIALSPACE"
- Solution: WIKI: Wikiname (have user entered data unaltered, like space/page names, user names) and use uppercase only for top menu entries
- Limitations: Colibri skin uses uppercase for form labels, panel titles, buttons, action menu; so we use uppercase for separation or to put emphasis on functionality. Thus, uppercase can't be totally removed from action menus, but we could adjust it to be used just for labeling and separation of menu items.
- "Type: Name" pattern
