    Description

      When a user opens XE for the first time, he sees, in the panel "Recent Activity" that link :
      "WatchListJob3" (or 4, or 1). Those words have no signification to a basic user and the informations reported by that panel are not modifications the user did consciously (he discovers the platform for the first time in his life !)
      If the user clicks on "WatchListJob3", he gets those informations in the page < http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Scheduler/WatchListJob3 > :

      Job name :
      
      WatchList weekly notifications
      
      Job description :
      
      WatchList weekly email watchlist job
      
      Job cron expression :
      
      0 0 0 ? * SUN
      
      Job script :
      
      3
      
      Back to the job list 
      

      = > no meaning for 80 % of our contacts !

      A link allows user to go to a Scheduler space < http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Scheduler/ >. If the user is perseverant and has a good computer culture, he may understand that scheduler is an application designed for admin.
      But in that situation, the user is no longer a basic User.

      My point is to reconsider the content of that panel. That content has to be a monitoring about the real activity that users performs consciously. Such a panel is really important in a wiki, but it's important to avoid to produce "noise".
      (And we have to hide informations about admin activity).
