True, this layout won't fit in 1024. > * I personally don't like this solution since a) it means introducing > a new navigation feature inside pages when we already have one.

Contextual panels are currently used for intra-document navigation (the only exception is the class switcher that some users find confusing), view panels for wiki navigation, I think it's important to differentiate the navigation between the admin sections. > >> 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.
