Hi Fabio,
Thanks a lot for your clarification.
I will go on implementing xwiki navigation panel.
The current implementation of xwiki navigation panel's tree structure
looks like:
Wiki
|--Spaces
|--Pages
Do we need to display the other xwiki resources, such as comments, tags,
objects, attachments, in the navigation panel?
Best regards
Jun Han
