Sharing from the IDE

[slemeur]

Description

With Che 7, it should be possible to share the workspace directly from the IDE.
As an MVP, we could do the following:

• Add an menu entry item "Share"
• Clicking on this menu item will just redirect the user to the dashboard > workspace details > share page.

@slemeur Che in single-user mode doesn't have Workspace Share page at all. Will it work for you if a user will be redirected to the Overview page, where it's possible to export a workspace configuration file?

Also, workspace's share pages on che.openshift.io and codenvy.io differs from each other.

The idea was to create the factory. Could we redirect to the factory creation page? (with current workspace selected)

[akurinnoy]

We can redirect to the factory creation page, but we can not select there anything (a tab (workspace, git, config, template) or a specific workspace).

@slemeur hello, have a look at the comment above, please

[slemeur]

Let's start by redirecting to the "Share" page on the dashboard.

In the following iteration, could we have a popup in the IDE allowing the user to create the factory directly from there?

[akurinnoy]

@slemeur I'm not sure about popup, but we could provide kind of command for that.

Shouldn't I worry about single-user mode (where no Share page)?

[slemeur]

If single-user mode, just point to the overview page.
