Hello all,
Since http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/jrug6cbbqpia5bx4 (but not only) the
rule says that we should discuss contrib related stuff with the community.
In my case, I cannot manage to follow all the mails on the devs(a)xwiki.org
(because they are a lot) but I would be particularly interested of not
missing the ones about contrib extensions. However, today, I don't know how
to differentiate them, I would need to read all devs(a)xwiki.org to not miss
one.
There are multiple solutions that I can propose for this, please let me
know what you think:
1/ have a contrib mailing list
2/ have an alias for the contrib that would send on the same list, this way
we could filter by the "to" field
3/ have a convention about mails related to contrib (e.g. [Contrib] in the
subject) that would allow to filter
4/ any other technical solution that I didn't think about that would allow
to automatically decide if a mail is about contrib or not, without reading
it :D
1, 2 and even 4 are perfectly fine with me, 3 is a bit risky because people
might not follow conventions.
What do you think?

Hi everyone,
I’d like to give everyone some heads up about the plan I discussed with Marius (who’s working on the new CKEditor integration) regarding the new CKEditor-based WYSIWYG.
Goals:
======
* Replace the current GWT-based WYSIWYG editor with one based on CKEditor, see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/CKEditor+Integration
* Keep it as an extension so that it can be installed using the Extension Manager on XWiki versions 7.4.x. We need to introduce some UIXP to be able to replace the existing editor in the XWiki menus so we’ll need to commit that in 7.4.x (with x >= 2).
* Make it possible to install the extension on XWiki versions 6.2.5+. However the installation will have some manual parts, to replace the GWT-based editor.
Timeline:
=========
* Before the 19th of Feb, a new version of the CKEditor integration will be released containing wiki page/attachment linking and image insertion features. At that point what will remain is:
** Support for editing macros
** Office importer (if needed)
** Configuration UI in the administration
** Add UIXP to integrate the CKEditor nicely into the platform (using extension points)
** Future: Add support for packaging CKEditor plugins as XWiki Extension.
* The goal is to implement all these remaining features around when 8.1M1 is released (i.e. early April 2016), except maybe the Future part which could be done later on.
* Starting 8.1M2, the goal would be to bundle the Extension in the distribution (default flavor) but to not make it the default yet. There would be some configuration option to select which WYSIWYG editor to use (GTW-based or CKEditor-based).
* Starting 8.2, if all goes alright, we would set the CKEditor WYSIWYG to be the default (still with ability for admins to configure the editor they wish to use so they can continue to use the GWT-based one if they want that).
* Starting 9.0, the idea would be to remove the GWT-editor and retire it to XWiki Contrib with instructions for advanced developers to build it and use it in XWiki should they still want to do that. However we won’t spend extra time to refactor it as an extension since that would spend too much time which we prefer to spend on improving the new WYSIWYG editor.
WDYT?
Thanks

PS: cc-ing the users list to let the XWiki users know about the plan ahead of time!
I'd like to cut a bugfix release for MoccaCalendar quite soon, probably on Monday next week if I find the time, or Tuesday if I miss out on Monday
This will contains all fixes that are b/w compatible without nested spaces.
The idea is to have this bugfix release our before the decision on dropping support for pre-nested pages is made, as this discussion is still in pending (slumbering?) mode.
The release will be 2.5.2, and will be released from the stable-2.5 branch
Issues fixed so far:
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MOCCACAL-99?jql=project%20%3D%20MOCCACAL%20AND…
Translators: please note that one translation has changed and might need to be updated:
MOCCACAL-95 : Change Calendar's home page to be named "Calendar" instead of "Calendar overview" <http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MOCCACAL-95>
The translation key to be updated is 'MoccaCalendar.calendar.title':
http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/Search?application=Contrib&name=M…
Any objections, comments?
