Description

From several discussions;

The learning curve of Wiki page editing, which pretty a basic need, is longer than a lot (if not most) other web application. Things require knowledge and too many clicks to be found and understandable.

Improving the way a wiki page is edited by default is mainly a design UX/UI aspect as all the code is here already.

For example and comparing to Confluence that, from users point require 15mn to have someone working;

  • The editing space by default is all full-screen so you have focus on tool you are using right now and not everything your Tiki has
    and not confined in a tiny space with what’s left from a screen with menus, preview, header, footer etc
  • The toolbar by default is a simple as possible (one line) with very clear options for not-techy first time user better comprehension
    and not configured by and for admins / techies that don’t want to customise their toolbar
  • The "main" plugins (they call it macro) are available under a dropdown
    and not with the help menu, tab plugin, search it in a small space
  • You can see/search all the plugin in a large space using "common" terms and big icons
    The plugin/macro name is reduced to what is does as short as possible and not a weird name someone gave to its plugin or a long list of words attached to say what it does in a tight space with small text and small icons


I think we should have a look at the way it is done and we could improve pretty quickly the way it work.

Full screen simple editing by default (the macro/plugin access is under the "plus" button, a dropdown for the common one and direct access to all the others);

The plugin/macro access is elegant and easy to read
