Re: Default Template discussion

Ditto: It's getting to be a long discussion and a bit hard to follow all the
details.

My Summary:

Ideas from Dirk which I now support:

   - Place two discrete small links: login & register(up in the header on
   the right)


   - Add to user prefs choice of left or right Favorites menu (but make
   right default ;-))


   - Add QuickLinks to your Favourites thru TestPlugin


   - Add the Diff on the highest TAB level (Call it Version)


   - Keep the current Attach TAB approach (not viewable if no upload
   permission and empty list)
   - Drop the page-actions at the bottom



Ideas from Dirk which I don't support:

   - replicate the TABs on the bottom


   - the More... button should really become the last TAB, which becomes
   a dropdown menu when you hover your mouse over it, but becomes a really
   TAB-page when you click on it.


Ideas from Murray which I now support:

   - tabs should *ideally* show existing attachments/comments and provide
   a button to add a new attachment/comment.
   - most user interface guidelines and most users would *not* expect
   clicking on a tab to begin an action (As we have with Edit).



Unresolved issues and Ideas from Janne/Murray which I think should be
seriously considered :

   - the need to initiate an action from top or bottom for really long
   pages



   - Edit should be in the form of a button


   - Adopt a complete edit-cycle locally on the browser
   - a top-fixed menu (Could/should links replace tabs???) Fixed is good.

However assuming Edit Tab stays,


   - Place the comment add button in the EDIT tab

(if you have Edit, it is just a more
advanced Comment facility)

If you don't have edit permissions, but have attachments, your tabs look
like:
 View | Attachments | Comments | Info | Versions

If you do have edit permissions, but have attachments, your tabs look like:
 View | Attachments | Edit | Info | Versions


If I forgot something important feel free to add to this list
Hope this help get an overview
