A mockup of the new Fedora Administrator interface: This mockup is intended to illustrate how the new Fedora Administrator might operate. The color scheme is intentionally bland in order to move the focus to the features. The menu on the left shows an accordion navigation with the Objects section open. Clicking on Search on the bottom left would cause the search section to scroll up and cover the Objects menu with the Search menu. The goal of this menu system is to allow users to perform tasks with the fewest number of clicks possible, but also be able to group activities by topic and be able to fit all of the necessary functionality on the screen. When an object is opened, created, or ingested the object will be opened as a new tab. The object's properties, datastreams, and other information will be displayed here. Clicking on a datastream would open a modal dialog to display all of the datastream information. Clicking on the localhost:8080 button on the upper right would pop up a dialog allowing the user to connect to a different repository. The purpose of this mockup is to indicate my current thoughts and solicit feedback. Don't like it? Think it's great? Would like to see just one little tweak? Let me know. |
