Hi,
We have a first list of ideas for the Google Summer of Code here
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Projects/WebHome
You should add additional ideas on this page. The more we have
candidates that want to do a project on XWiki the more chance we have to
get a high number of projects.
We will then have to choose by taking into account the quality of the
candidate and the importance of the sub-project for the XWiki Roadmap.
Also, one thing that would help getting more project is having more
mentors to help out the students. If any of you is interested in helping
us out mentoring the students, please tell us so. We already have some
experience mentoring. The mentoring job has to be pro-active, asking a
lot what the student is doing, as the student usually don't tell much.

Hello!
The attached patch solves a problem in UTF-8 environments when creating
PDFs. It also requires the attached fop.cfg.xml (goes into
src/main/resources/).
With that patch applied, PDFs can be generated in an UTF-8 environment,
i.e. no longer exceptions while doing so. But the generated PDFs might
not contain all characters. This depends on the font being used to
generate the PDF. To make this work under all circumstances, one would
need a font containing the complete UTF-8 character set. Unfortunately
such fonts are not freely available. But for instance the DejaVu font
(which is based on the free BitStream Vera font) would be an option,
though CJK users would need to use another font.
To switch between the different fonts, it is currently required to edit
the xhtml2fo.xsl (the patch contains a comment which shows how to switch
to a Japanese font, at least for normal text).
Maybe using several xsl files, depending on the language settings of the
page would be an option to select the correct font?

We have a number of xwiki servers set up in a clustered environment.
Occasionally, we are not able to "bounce" our servers - we restart the servers one by one, and get many of the following error:
ERRORS>> ERROR [org.jgroups.protocols.pbcast.ClientGmsImpl] <08:30:24,559> suspect() should not be invoked on an instance of org.jgroups.protocols.pbcast.ClientGmsImpl <UpHandler (GMS)>
We upgraded our jgroups to 2.2.9, and this has significantly reduced how often this happens, but it still does happen.When this happens, we need to bring down all the servers and restart.
Has anyone encountered this issue ?
What is the recommended version of jgroups and configuration ?
Is there a recommendation for how to restart xwiki servers while achieving 24x7 uptime witgh a cluster ?
Thank you in advance
Andy
hi all,
just to remember some useful rules for commiting to the XWiki repository.
* Before commiting something, please creates the jira task.
* When you commit, refer to the task number, for example XWIKI-106, on
your comment. Like this, the code will be added to the jira task.
* Commit only one task at a time. Like this the diff is more readable,
and it's more easy to check the code.
thanks,
Jérémi

Hi all,
It's not possible in xwiki for the moment the core send message to the
user for saying something like :
"You attachment have been attached" or "You succesfully logged in"
or replace exception with a readable message like:
"your file is too big to be attached"
what do you think about adding in the context 2 collections:
* one message which contains messages like the first one.
* the other one, which contains errors, like the second kind of message.
After, we display this in the skin in a box under the top menu.
I know message is already on the code, but it's never displayed, and i
think we have to do the distinction between message and error.
What do you think about this?

Has anyone experienced the "Preview" button not working in Internet
Explorer. When you preview and then hit the back button your changes are
whiped out.
I've sent a couple emails about this in the past but have gotten no
response.
