      In Confluence 3.1, there are now two ways a user can create pages directly from the dashboard:

      • via the normal 'Add Page' buttons next to every space in the space list
      • via the new 'Add Page' button at the top-right of the dashboard.

      The default parent page when creating a page via these links is the "space root", not the home page of the space. If the user doesn't explicitly set a parent page, the new page will be lost at the top of the space, not discoverable via the navigation sidebar or page tree in the default home page layout.

      The default parent for pages created from the dashboard should be the space home page.

            Thanks for the suggestion, Tim and Bob. The space list 'Add Page' links on the dashboard don't set a parent page either, so we should probably fix both at the same time.

            Implementation note: I think this should be done by setting the default parent page to the space home page in the create page action if none is supplied. The alternative of modifying the URL to include the space home page ID as the 'fromPage' would slow down the dashboard loading and require changes in multiple places.
