Hello,
I'm pretty much convinced by JV's ideas on
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/RefactorActionMenu.
I would however propose the following minor changes :
* With the space we gained from "rename" and "copy", I think we can afford
a whole "Whatch" menu item, that will contain "Watch this page", "Watch
this space" and possibly "Watch settings..." for administrators. (And by
the way, it allow, if the notification feature is disabled for some reason
on a wiki, not to impact other menu lists - but I don't know if this
disable notification feature will be)
* I like the "Access Right" in the "Edit" menu, but that's maybe juste me :)
Jérôme.
