First Impressions of being a lurker

Very nice, I love the patterns, and especially the anti-patterns to avoid.

First Impressions From My First Ten Minutes Of Trying To Contribute

1. When you create a personal space there is no "Edit Page" link on the upper menu bar for the home page for my personal space.

   Perfect Matrioshka Bugs example: I'm trying to document problems on Wiki Patterns by adding a screen shot, and I get distracted when my wiki won't display a wiki picture that has underscores in it! Instead of !wiki_patterns_personal_edit_button.jpg! making a link to my picture, I get: Unable to render embedded object: File (wiki_patterns_personal_edit_button.jpg) not found.

1. It's not intuitive that when looking at the home page for your peronal space, that "Add A Pattern" will add a page to your personal space.
   • I want to add a page to my personal space to keep track of my personal ideas for patterns until I've refined them enough to put them on the public pattern list.
2. I can't seem to edit my personal space home page, so I don't know how I'll get back to my [Patterns in Progress] page. Instead I made a link from another wiki to this one so I can find it.
3. When I am editing I don't see "Location", so how will I move a finished pattern to the main space? Well obviously I could create a new page, and use cut and paste, it's just startling to see the location box, that I've gotten used to on other Confluence wikis, is missing.
4. No attachments, I couldn't attach a screen shot of the missing edit button.
5. Can't easily get to the info page to look at revision history for a page. I finally got to it, but I had to hack the URL in my browser by cutting and pasting url pieces from the url on another Confluence wiki.
6. Can't find the browse space link for my personal space.
   • I finally figured out how to hack a link to my changes on wiki patterns
