This mail covers the Flamingo integration for the Meetings Application<http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/MeetingApplication>. You are welcomed to review the proposal at: <http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/MeetingApplicationDesignII> *http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/MeetingApplicationDesignII* Any feedback is welcomed.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Use HTML5 in Flamingo

by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau

(There is already a JIRA issue about this topic, see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7552 ). The new skin, Flamingo, uses the Bootstrap Framework, which is designed to be used with HTML5. For example, the drop down buttons [1] use the attributes "data-*" that was introduced recently and that are not valid in XHTML 1.0 Strict. Since HTML5 is becoming the new standard, I think it's time to switch to HTML5, at least for Flamingo. With the help of Thomas, I have already added an HTML5 validator in our build tools, based on validator.nu [2]. In the future, we need to change the enterprise tests suite to use this validator and the flamingo skin. ------------------------- What are the blockers ? ------------------------- ----- Meta tags ----- In Colibri headers, we used to define some meta tags used by some javascript components. These tags are: - <meta name="document" content="Main.WebHome"/> - <meta name="wiki" content="xwiki"/> - ... and so on. In my opinion, they are useless, because we also defines some variables: - XWiki.currentWiki = "xwiki"; - XWiki.currentSpace = "Main"; - XWiki.currentPage = "WebHome"; - ... and so on. The problem is: these tags are not valid in HTML5 because the specification mentions that custom meta names should be registered on http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions. See http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#… . Other problem: if we simply remove them, we will break some javascript codes. ----- Internet Explorer meta tag ----- Bootstrap defines the following meta-tag: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> It is used to prevent Internet Explorer from using the compatibility mode (which is the default setting on intranet sites). As before, this meta tag is not valid. It is interresting to notice that even the bootstrap site is not valid, because of that. In my opinion, we need this meta-tag and we should ignore this HTML5 violation. ----- Use HTML5 or XHTML5? ----- XHTML5 is only a subset of HTML5 so that it is XML compliant. If we want to use it, we need to change the MIME type of our pages to "application/xhtml+xml" or "application/xml" [3]. But then, the browser is not error-tolerant anymore (I have only tested with Firefox and I hit the issue). ----- Update HTMLCleaner ----- HTML Cleaner generates this code: <img src="..."></img> which is not valid. ------------------------ Proposal ------------------------ 1. Break the javascript compatibility and remove invalid <meta> tags, except the Internet Explorer specific one. 2. Update the HTML Cleaner. 3. Use HTML5 to avoid the XML specific problems. We can change this in the future. 4. Do not touch the XWiki Rendering code because it generates XHTML, which is still valid in HTML5 [4]. Same for the WYSIWYG editor. 5. Update the enterprise test suite to also tests pages with the flamingo and the new HTML5 validator. WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] Introduce a dependency on xwiki-commons-context into xwiki-rendering-api

by Denis Gervalle

Hi devs, In order to manage authorization access based on the signature of scripts, I need to have better knowledge on which rendering is being processed at any moment. The rendering is the one who knows the better the current rendering status, so it is also the best place to feed the ExecutionContext with the TransformationContext and the MacroTransformationContext. Therefore, I would like to introduce a dependency on xwiki-commons-context into xwiki-rendering-api. Since xwiki-commons-context does not have any transitive dependencies, and is part of commons, it should not be an issue. This is not a proposal to remove the current usage of the rendering contexts, it will not impose existing user of the rendering project to embrace the EC at all. If nobody complains, I am starting working on this now, so please comment ASAP if you are against. Thanks -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Location of ApplicationResources.properties in the corresponding project/jar

by Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar

Hi, as I have been pointed to in chat by Vincent, it is possible to place ApplicationResources*.properties files containing translation keys in the src/main/resources directory of any maven "jar"-packaged project and get them used as translations, instead of adding keys to the xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/resources/ApplicationResources*.properties This is already documented as a "best practice" for application development: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra… However it is missing for the platform development practices, so I would have missed it if not been pointed to explicitly. If nobody objects, I would like to add a line recommending this at e.g. http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HTransla… Or are there any reasons against this practice / or is there a better one?

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Hidden wikis & template wikis

by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau

Hi devs. In the coming 5.3 milestone 2, all wikis are displayed in the Wiki Index, including the templates, which was not the case before. >From the user point of view, maybe these templates should not be listed in the Wiki Index. But on the other hand, if you want to see a template, you will not be able to access through the wiki index. We also have introduced the "hidden" flag for wikis (in the WikiDescriptor, not in the UI yet). If we consider template wikis are "technical" wikis, we may use this flag to hide them. Then, in the Wiki Index, we don't care if a wiki is a template or not, we only care about the "hidden" flag. If the user does not want to see the templates in the list, she can mark them as hidden, exactly as we do for documents. But what about the template list in the wiki creation wizard? Should we list all templates, or only the visible ones? My proposition: - all wikis are visible though the wiki index (template or not). - if we want to hide templates to the users, we use the hidden flag in the wiki descriptor. - in the wiki creation wizard, we display all the templates, even these which are tagged as hidden. WDYT? Thanks, Louis-Marie
