Hi XWikiers,

We'd like to refactor the wiki & space administration for XE 1.4.
Layout drafts and full proposal are available here :
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ImproveWikiAdministration

Summary :

 * Display the administration features in wiki pages, in view mode (ie
: move code from the admin templates to wiki pages)
 * Merge the current XWiki.WebHome items with the current
Administration features in the new UI
 * Merge the import / export features in the same page
 * Put the Panels list and PanelWizard in the new UI

Tech :

 * new XWiki.WebHome : direct links (with big icons) to admin
categories (a la Windows control panel)
 * A main administration sheet : XWiki.AdministrationSheet (may be
with cascading admin sheets beyond)
 * Inclusion of XWiki.AdministrationSheet in XWikiPreferences (global prefs)
 * Inclusion of XWiki.AdministrationSheet in all WebPreferences (quick
access to space admin)

Questions :

 * Do we add an "Administration" entry in the top menu bar ? With 2
dropdown items :
 ** current space administration
 ** wiki administration
 * Do we really need the "big icons" page (since all the categories
are available from the left column) ?

wdyt ?

Thanks,
JV.
