A few weeks ago on this blog we mentioned a feature that we're introducing soon — the Dashboard. It is meant to be a central place to manage your messages, invitations, sites, storage, memberships and account settings.
At first a very basic (though fully functional) version of the Dashboard will be presented. The current status is it needs some polishing, but it's already totally usable. Later we'll update the Profile and Settings panel to manage your account easier (now it's a bit of a mess).
The next big step to do with the Dashboard is integration of notifications. We'd like it to look and feel more or less like the Facebook Wall. It'll make accessing information much easier than relying on e-mail notifications. Comments, updates — they would just wait for you. The Dashboard is our new approach to make Wikidot more socially accessible.
Here are a few screenshots of the latest version of the Dashboard (please note that it's still under development):

Looks good though :) Any ideas when it'll be released? Or maybe a link to a roadmap…?
That's something different wstone.

Really? The screenshots look near to identical:

Well, the "Dashboard" tab itself was what I was referring to. That has been removed from the current implementation, from what I can see (along with a few other tabs).
Good find though, I didn't notice that similarity. =)

Nice! I Already had a peek at the draft-version of this page :-)
A - S I M P L E - P L A N by ARTiZEN a startingpoint for simple wikidot solutions.
So did I. Like the interface and the new "My Accounts" menu… nice and short words :D

seems that they did not like us seeing the draft-category :-(
Wrong login, Johan Joris should have been me… So need to check if that is still true.

Dashboard looks great so far! Eager to begin using it.

Any talk or word about something 'looking like facebook' or imitating facebook makes me wary. We are cheating ourselves when it comes to innovation by merely copying a ridiculous fad. [Plus I think Facebook's system is atrocious and cluttered!]
That being said, an integrated dashboard does sound really great. It's looking good so far and hope it'll really be a gem once things are ironed out.
I'll withhold an absolute judgment until I get to see it and use it. LOL
Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.
Means - can we use the old account sdummary too? Later?
or is the switch done general for all users…?
btw: looks good. !

I'm just guessing, but I assume that there will be no option to revert to the old account summary page.

After switching we will no longer support old account panel, it would be a waste of time to develop and maintain two panels simultaneously.

is the "File - finding List" anywhere in the dashbord in the our own sites possible?
means - for a backup this is working well, but could it not be a simple module finding all files of one "owned" site ( i na secure point like the dashboard) sorted by name and giving the holding page-name ?
or is this better a wishfor the feedback site?

A way of listing all files on a site, and which page they are attached to?
Yes, if you put this on the feedback site then I will certainly rate it up.
Probably the closest thing to this would be: an image/file search capability (it attempts to solve the same problem as your wish, but is different in it's implementation)

That's yet another wish that was rejected without explanation.
Community Admin
yes, this was rejected after 8 months of absolut silence… I think there was a re-design of the ongoing work - the bugs are now priority 1-3 ( or 5) and than the wishes - but sorted by ratings! Today this uncommented rejected looks a little bit strange and "rabiat".. :)
I think - the longer a wish is wating we have to remember ourself and the users wating for it to "rate it up" or to comment again about new situations.
Now we have such a new situation - the dashboard is comming.
I can rememebr the wishes about one place to update many pages + tags in one go (tag or parent a complete category in one go ) - but last year it was clear - this was to be held on one secure place like site admin.

Yes, I remember this. The idea was for a Wikidot-developed version of
pieterh's page navigator.
The things you suggest though (re-tagging or re-parenting a whole category) are possible using the Wikidot API, so I could add them to STE to make that functionality easily accessible to everyone.
If you want me to do this, you can suggest them here: http://www.wdeditor.com/cr:_start :) (please do re-tagging and re-parenting as two separate wishes).
I'd do it myself… but it looks better when it's not just "leiger" submitting all of the wishes xD
