Welcome Block

Issues

  • Difficulties on editing the content of Welcome block
    • Edit on Homepage takes you to WYSIWYG mode
      • the include macro rendering is confusing because the user might think he can in-line edit the content
      • trying to delete some words in the welcome message results in deleting the dashboard macro
    • Editing Inline on Homepage takes you in the Dashboard editing (confusing because now the include/macro separation is overwritten)
      • advanced gadget properties that are hard to follow;
      • gadget implemented with a <include> mechanism
      • difficulties on understanding translations keys for the Welcome block title
  • Difficulties on emptying the home page dashboard in order to replace it with static content
