Overhaul of Foswiki topic interaction surface planned by Arthur Clemens and Carlo Schulz
Did you know that the Foswiki community is actively trying to create a complete new interaction design for you and your users. Especially Arthur Clemens and Carlo Schulz are actively creating concepts how the Foswiki surface can be improved and be more easily to understand and use.
A lot of community members think that usability improvements for Foswiki are one of the most important ways to increase Foswikis adoption within your company and within the market.
If you want to help us, please comment on these drafts and help us to understand, what you and your users need.
You can find discussions and much more information on the progress in our Wiki under RethinkingTopicInteraction (incl. all pictures) and RethinkingTopicInteractionPrototype. Please tell us, what you think.
This looks fantastic! An improvement to the UI is urgently needed and this look like the right way to do it!
The only think I'm missing in these shoots is a quick access to the print command.
Some nice ideas there, folks. Take a look at some of the ideas on the eyeOS (http://www.eyeos.org) website, too – they're not dissimilar to what you're experimenting with here (although the product is radically different; at least, at the moment!).
That looks great! Would've made my life a lot easier, especially the clearer "Help" section.
I do suggest that instead of the "Change" menu, "Manage topic" sounds more specific as these seem to be related to topic management.
