Could you provide more context / rationale here? Having a hard time following the idea.

Yeah, it stemmed from an observation of @garrett's at devconf.

The idea being kind of like the different views of "you" on twitter.

If I visit the base page at twitter.com/ and am logged in, I see all of the info in my feed of people that I am following (but I see none of my own tweets).

I see just the opposite if I visit twitter.com/ralphbean. I see none of the activity of the people I follow, but I do see all of my own activity.

We were thinking then of adding that same kind of distinction to hubs. If I look at my "own" page, I see the activity of everyone I'm following. If someone else looks at my page, they see my activity instead.

We're more complicated than twitter here, though. We don't just have a feed, we have other widgets. So, for the 'me looking at myself' hub, I may want some widgets that have to do with reminders for me of things I need to do or things I need to attend. I don't necessarily want to see my own badges though - that's not useful to me. Conversely, for the 'someone else looking at me' hub, I may want the opposite. I may not want them to see the popups with things I have to do (they can't act on them anyways, since they may not have the perms), but say I do want them to see my "merit badge sash" of Fedora Badges -- it's kind of like my public profile.

So, those are two different use cases for how people in different roles (you and other people) interact with "your hub". This ticket is here to think through how we might streamline the editing process for those two roles to make it simpler for people to configure their public profile on one hand as well as configure their personal hub on the other.

Does that help?

I guess I'm not following the streamline editing process thing - I agree it makes sense to have two separate pages per user - one is their personal stream / inbox, the other is their profile (viewed by others, but also their window into how others see them.) I don't understand why each page wouldn't have its own edit? How does splitting a user into two pages (inbox vs profile) affect editing?

Closing this because I'm not sure it's a problem right now.
