Hi devs, I have just installed the XEM distribution has an upgrade of an existing farm. I have discovered that the new distribution cause an new DB to be created without any confirmation on first access to Main.WebHome to contains the workspace template required by the new workspace feature. IMO, this does not follow the vote we have had before about this change, since existing user of XEM are immediately impacted by the new feature. I would have been -1 if I would have been aware of this.
Creating the new database this way has for me some inconveniences: - For new user, after having a possibly hard time setting up the server, there first successful access on the wiki could end in an error, since the creation of the new database could goes wrong. - For existing user, a new database is created without there agreement on there farm. If they delete it, it will probably came back again and again... They really need to understand that the simple access to the home page cause the creation of a new database. IMO, these are not good first experiences with the new release. I propose that the creation of the new database requires at least a user confirmation, and that if the user do not confirm, it should not be tried anymore. This will have two advantage, the user is well aware that a other new database is under creation in case of error, and existing farm user will have an easy way out.
