Hi,
The proposal for Documentation Flavor can be found at
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/DocumentationFlavor
A Documentation Wiki is an information repository about a certain
topic (product, service, etc.) It needs to provide means for
information to be collected, organized, shared, searched and utilized.
I've created only the Documentation Flavor and not the Knowledge Base
Flavor because I consider the Documentation to be more strict than the
other. The main difference between the two is the Workflow
(http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/DocumentationFlavo…)
which involves also custom Rights
(http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/DocumentationFlavo…)
and should provide documentation specific Export formats. Besides
these differences, the Knowledge Base and Documentation are very
similar: knowledge base encourage content collaboration in all stages,
while Documentation only in the content gathering phase, becoming
read-only after.
I encourage you to take a look at the features and give your opinion.
Thanks,
Caty

That's fun… :) I was wondering if this could help us be more proactive in fixing our tests (especially the flickering ones) or if it wasn't going to help at all and instead cause more troubles.
The good part is that it creates new jira only for new tests that fail so it may not be that bad. The bad part is that if we have false positives we'll need to close those jira as won't fix thus leading to extra maintenance (even though we've excluded most if not all real false positives already).
I'm actually worried about the case when someone commits an error that affects all tests and suddenly you have 600 tests failing and thus 600 new jiras created :)
So while the idea seemed attractive, I think it could cause us more problems than advantages. Too bad because right now almost nobody in our team (except Marius) is fixing flickering functional tests and we need to have stable tests as the norm… (that being said the build is still failing in lots and lots of places as of now :( Even commons and platform are failing…).
Thanks

Hi,
The reasoning for this is because I have seen a number of users running
in to problems with the lack of dropdown menu, giving instructions for fixing
a problem is harder when they always begin with "edit the page then append
?editor=wiki to the URL".
I think showing the menu of editors is not too overwhelming for new users
whereas showing them internal documents is.
This will also pave the way for more experimental editors such as realtime.
WDYT?

Hi devs,
Following http://markmail.org/message/snnlesexie4ox3i5 I would like to
modify user related methods in XWikiDocument to behave like the what
has been voted for XWikiContext and follow the same logic.
As a reminder here it is: not logged in user (guest) reference is
null. Plain and simple.
The idea would be to do exactly the same thing than XWikiContext
meaning that old String APIs continue to deal with "XWikiGuest" and do
convertions for retro compatibility especially with existing
databases.
It will change the behavior of XWikiDocument#getUserReference() from
external point of view so it's a breakage but we might actually fix
more bugs than we create when thinking about codes like
context.setUserRefererence(document.getAuthorReference()) or
$context.userReference == $doc.authorReference which I'm sure we can
find here and there.
5.0 and new right service is a good occasion for this improvement.
WDYT ?
Here is my +1

Hello fellow XWiki community members,
This year XWiki is planning to participate once more at Google's Summer of
Code [1].
The organization registration period has already started today (18th of
March) and the deadline is the 29th of March [2] (almost 2 weeks).
1. We need to provide by then a list of proposals and assign mentors for
the students that are going to implement them.
I would like to ask everybody that wants to participate as a mentor from
the XWiki organization to review the proposals [3] list (we currently have
12 proposals) and add as many interesting proposals as possible.
The proposals can be either new, or they can be revived from previous year
proposals. Just navigate to the previous years, find the proposal you like
and know about, go to its proposal page (click it) and press the "Clone to
this year" link. Now you can assign yourself as lead for that project,
update it's description if needed and wait for the student applications to
start pouring :)
2. We also need to submit the actual application [4] of the XWiki
organization to participate to the GSoC 2013 project so I would also like
to ask you to review it so that we have a better chance of being selected
into the program.
3. If you feel that you would like to help on improving XWiki's GSoC guides
and application forms, please find tips for students [5] on XWiki's GSoC
page, the student application form [6] and the lessons learned [7] from
previous years participations.
Thanks for your help,
Eduard

Dear listers,
I am new to XWiki and I am trying to get familiar with it. I started doing the FAQ tutorial (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorialManual) but got stuck pretty early. I cannot find the Class Editor Wizard. I use an administrator account but when I search for "XWikiClasses" I do not get any results. Directly going to XWiki.XWikiClasses does also not help, the page does not seem to exist. I use XWiki-enterprise 4.5 (xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-4.5.exe) on Windows XP.
Any hints appreciated,
Markus
