I agree that we might lack the growth. We just need to make sure we don't
add too much stuff, that could be in a dedicated/separate application, like
a Statistics one, instead of an Overview.
Growth could be represented like this for example:

I agree. As a Stats app, this would be mandatory.

Only if we create a dedicated stats app, otherwise we could crowd the
information displayed and not be such a summary (also hard to enforce order
on UIX).

My bad. Thanks.

It's the same form we have on Download step (ex.
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Download/DownloadForm?downloadURL=http://download.forge.ow2.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-8.4.2-standard.jar=8.4.2
)
according to "[VOTE] Governance changes for xwiki.org"
http://markmail.org/thread/mcbcvd4i5cgoebh5 , point E. So in short, it's a
newsletter managed by the top sponsoring companies.

To be honest, what you are describing would be super useful and interesting
in a dedicated application.
In the current proposal I've tried to mix multiple concepts (newsletter,
stats, data, demo content) in order to show a bit of everything. That's why
the level of details for each should be minimal/medium.

Thanks for your ideas,
Caty

Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] [UX][Proposal] Administration Overview

[Sergiu Dumitriu]

Ah, finally something useful instead of duplicating the menu. Some
suggestions:

- The version alone is not enough; which product, and what flavor?

- The proposed status is too "static", IMHO. It describes the size of
the wiki, but not its health. I'd like to see active status as well:
* 123 users (3 active in the last week)
** Perhaps also mention groups?
* 67 pages (7 updated in the last week)
* 12324 page views (143 in the last week)
* 562 visitors (42 in the past week)
* Top 10 popular pages
I know that not all this information is easy to compute (or even
possible), so it's just a "nice to have" list

- This should be extensible, so that extensions can add their own
summary information.

- Should apps be allowed to list their own summary? Like: "23 blog posts
(2 new in the last week)" if the blog application is installed.

- Typo: paid, not payed

- What exactly is the community address? Is it the users list, or
something new?

- It would be nice to display security information here:
* Updates available
* Weak settings (the Admin password is still "admin", "superadmin" is
enabled, cookie encryption keys are not randomized, public comments
enabled...)
* Many failed passwords detected
* Comment spam detected
