Navlinks to Sidebar Entries

• Navlinks may come back, tbd

based on other approaches.

• Sidebar Entry (per space,

default to server level) can be

used for navigation

• Link to views or external sites

• Display important information

• Can link to tags but (unlike

navlinks) does not do

dynamic display based on all /

remaining / or prefix groups

Set Status and Profile Spaces

• None selected is OK, but

awkward for Profiles

• Each choice should (at least)

allow Everyone to read,

author, edit own, publish own

• Consider dedicated space for

Profiles (cleaner tag cloud,

search, and so on)

Per Space Considerations• Edit Wiki Home Article

• Add Table of Contents

• Add Project, Milestone, Tasking

sections

• Change existing “todo” driven

sections

• Keep or drop “Recent Articles”

newspage sections (redundant with

Activity, but can be nice to have)
