As already discussed with you, I really like this screenshot. I find the UI to be very clean and simple and the navigation on the left is perfect for a documentation web site. > compared to > -- http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation > - simpler skin (at least remove the comments area - lots of deprecated > questions/answers and we have now the forum for that) > - simpler menu (less entries + merge with the navbar if technical possible > now, otherwise wait for newer version) > - simpler footer area by removing the number of links displayed (we need to > look at mouseflow) > > Would be great also to upgrade XWiki.org to a newer version.

I also believe a new L&F is needed for xwiki.org (been several years that it’s not been changed and novelty is nice). I think you should start implementing this skin on xwiki.org if you can find some time and on my side I’m willing to help to move/reorganize the content around (which will be needed as soon as we display the navigation menu on the left). Anyone else interested to help out too? Thanks -Vincent > Caty > > [1] > http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Flavors/TechnicalDocumentationFlavor/
