Hi, I have commented on the proposal pages. Here are my comments below on each page.

(JV says we already have 2 with horizontal tabs but then that would be 3, even worse) and b) it doesn't scale with left and right panels open and c) it's not consistent with edit mode for example and even with general navigation as it is now. > Admin in view mode, without a left menu : > http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ImproveWikiAdministrationLayout2 This works well on a desktop because the move from "Show all" to the specific page and back is fast. We need full Ajax for this mode to work well IMO. This is better than the first option but not perfect. > Admin in edit mode, with a navigation panel : > http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ImproveWikiAdministrationLayout3 +10 By *far* the best solution IMO: * no cramped space * easy to navigate from preference to preference * scalable * consistent with both edit mode and general view mode * no need for another css/styling/new layout scheme * can be easily modified across the board, i.e. if the user styles the panels, you get them styled for the admin too * Focus on the administration while in admin view, no distraction on the sides One note: the Panels screenshot is wrong, it shouldn't have the vertical menu inside the page. > > Admin in edit mode, without a navigation panel : > http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ImproveWikiAdministrationLayout4 Same as Layout2 above. > > Other question, how do we display the space selector : > > http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ImproveWikiAdministrationSpaceSelection The top solution (autocomplete) isn't good enough since you don't always know the name of your spaces. You need to see them all listed. Autocomplete is a nice to have but shouldn't replace the list IMO.
