Sorry - I forgot the People API (to look-up a person object from a username) isn't available to Freemarker, only JavaScript.

You'd have to modify the web script so that the docs collection was populated in JavaScript. The script would also use the People API to look up the firstName from the username and store it as a string in the docs collection.

The template would render this generated docs collection (rather than the one it currently generates), where the firstName would now become available.

I guess at some point we'll make the People API available from Freemarker templates directly.

At the moment the script logic is all held within the Freemarker template - the .ftl file.

The list of documents is created from

<#list companyhome.nodeByReference[args.h].children?sort_by('name') as d>‍

You need to create a new Javascript file (called myspacespanel.get.js) into which you move this query. Next, the Javascript walks through the collection of documents populating the firstName as described above.

These references should be useful if you're unfamiliar with webscripts:
