BTW I’ve fixed the Spaces macro so that it doesn’t fail when used for NS (see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12354). > (2) Display the tree hierarchy on the wiki home page, using > http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Document+Tree+Macro > .Of course, the tree will be lazy loaded, and only the top level nodes > are displayed initially.

(3) However we may also stop displaying a navigation widget in the Dashboard since we’re going to have another way for navigation soon, see http://markmail.org/message/vzjcdr7fgewe4m7j My only worry is that it’s likely that the chosen solution will be sol5 + sol6 and thus less visible for users who don’t know how to use it a first. This could be solved by using the Tour application for first time users I guess and showing them the UI through a Tour overlay. So I’m also +1 for (3) FTR this discussion is related to issue http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12362 which we may close as won’t fix depending on the result of this discussion.
