Problem

Option A

Information

Create Workspace in the Add Menu
Create Wiki in Administration
(separated)

Error

Con:

  • (+/-) Wiki creation more hidden (but is a rare action, done only by admins (advanced users) that are familiar to Administration)
Success

Pro:

  • Separate User functionality (found in the menu) from Admin functionality (found in the Administration area)

Option B

Information

Option in the create wizard: choose if you want a wiki or a workspace
(mixted)

Error

Con:

  • For normal users, the type area will contain just one item: Workspaces, being a bit redundant
  • Duplicated functionality for admins: in the Create step and in the Administration (for the wiki details and users management)
Success

Pro:

  • Only one concept: Wiki. The type will be implemented using templates.
  • The type (templates) zone is extensible in case we will want to add a new one

Option C

Information

Add Menu: Wiki, Workspace
(mixted/modular)

Error

Con:

  • Mixing User functionality (the ability to create Workspaces) with Admin functionality (the ability to create Wikis)
  • Confusing for users that don't know the difference between Wiki and Workspaces
  • Crowding the menu with an option that is rarely used
Success

Pro:

  • Customizable, we could have an option to disable one way of creating wikis or another
