Hi devs,

We have recently extracted the functionality of sending messages from the activity macro into a new messageSender macro [1][2]. However, for backwards compatibility reasons, the activity macro still uses by default (unless the parameter messageSender='false' is specified) the messageSender macro so the users still see the ability to send messages as a feature of the activity macro.

The proposal is that, for 4.1, we follow the original jira [2] issue idea (as seen in the issue's images) and: - Completely remove the messageSender macro call from activity macro (including the recently introduced messageSender=true/false parameter) - Providing instead a "Send Message" gadget for the main Dashboard that will use the new messageSender macro

This way we have 2 clear macros, no more mixing: - messageSender for sending messages - activity for displaying messages (and other events)

Additionally, it makes it easier for users to remove the ability to send messages from the homepage by editing the Dahsboard and removing the "Send Message" gadget.

Here's my +1.

Thanks, Eduard
