I think that is a good idea to make a navigation easy to a simple user, we could give to user a liberty to customize easily his home page with app who he want, for the implementation i propose an idea to simplified the customization:
- Make a page in the admin or in the editing of page who we will display all off applications of the wiki and under this block we display the actual home page, and we can added or delete the applications by using a drop and drag, this idea is appreciated by users. - and for editing the current app used on the home page we can added a button edit behind any app, and when we click we display a lightbox to change this app, the idea to use a lightbox is just to stay on the home page and make other changes easily.
