[xwiki-devs] [proposal] Process to handle Pull Requests

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi devs, I don't think there is currently a process that is in place to handle pull requests and I have the feeling that the way there are handled today is a bit random. There are usually comments sent out on each pull request but sometimes it seems that some pull requests are going in sleep mode and it's not clear who is in charge. I would like to suggest that a process is put in place where it's clear who is responsible for a pull request and a status is given to the contributors that propose that pull request. Something like: Assigned developer: XXXX Status: New -> new pull request, not yet assigned Assigned -> assigned to a developer, he is in charge of reviewing the pull request and ask for modifications or accept it. The developer can auto assign it to himself. If nobody does, we need to decide how they will be taken into account. ModificationsRequired -> for now rejected with comments. Contributor needs to apply comments and then change back to Assigned for further evaluation VoteRequired -> there are no more comments, but a vote is required as the changes to XWiki core are important WaitingFinalAuthorization -> optional step for complex patches where a additional authorization would be required (need to define who would be the persons that give the authorization) WaitingApplication -> there are no more comments and no changes or vote required. The pull request can be applied and is waiting for a developer to apply it Abandoned -> contributors is abandoning the pull request (cannot do the changes, no more time, etc..) Rejected -> pull request is rejected (quality not enough, etc..) Applied -> pull request is applied What do you think ?

[xwiki-devs] Velocity 2.0 and DeprecatedCheckUberspector

by Claude Brisson

Hi. I'm currently working on Velocity 2.0 packaging. If that's OK with you, I would like to incorporate DeprecatedCheckUberspector.java into Velocity, but I need a statement from your part to be able to change its licence to Apache 2.0 (LGPL and Apache 2.0 licences aren't compatible). By the way, I take this opportunity to tell you that if there is another specific part of xwiki-commons-velocity that you think should be integrated on our side, or an important missing feature you'd like to insist on, don't hesitate. I already integrated VELOCITY-825, for instance, so String->Enum constant conversions are now handled by Velocity. There may be other important conversion cases you'd like to see handled. Regards, Claude

[xwiki-devs] [Vote] Assignee for PR: Contributor or Committer?

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi, We have discussed this subject multiple times, but we don't have an official vote and conclusion on the topic. Problem: In JIRA who is the Assignee of an issue fixed by a Pull Request? 1: Contributor - he provided the solution - giving the attributions, the contributor might feel encouraged to contribute more - we could do some JIRA statistics on external contributions, but this use case can be covered by GitHub statistics 2: Committer - he does the merging on his account and he becomes responsible for the committed code. - in case there are problems, the committer needs to find solution, since we can't rely on contributors availability - in doing the PR review, the committer spends a lot of time analyzing and testing the provided solution We are talking here about complete solutions provided by the PR, since in case of partial solutions, the committer can assign himself on the issue (depends on the quantity of modification he does). Let me know what you think, Caty

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Entry point for Extensions

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Problem ======= We have 2 issues right now when installing an extension in XWiki: 1) It’s not clear where is the entry point of that extension. - Example1: an app that is only for admins and only has a ConfigurableClass - Example2: an app that provides a macro and doesn’t have a UI 2) Even when an extension registers itself in the Applications Panel, the user still need to refresh the page or navigate away to see it. Proposal ======== * Introduce the concept of Entry point (a.k.a home page) in Extension metadata * Have the EM UI display the extension’s entry point (when there’s one) after having installed the extension so that the user can click on it and be taken to the home page of the extension. This would make extensions more discoverable IMO. Implementation Details ================== * Some maven extension metadata properties in pom.xml * A format to represent an entry point. It shouldn’t be a full URL since that needs to be computed at runtime. Basically it should contain: ** The document reference ** The action to use (view, admin, etc) - optional, should default to “view" ** The query string to use - optional, should default to an empty query string This corresponds to the notion of ResourceReference (EntityResourceReference to be precise). However we don’t have any textual representation of it ATM. WDYT? Good idea? Bad idea? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Move from our mailing lists and use Discourse instead

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, I’m proposing to vote for moving away from our users and devs mailing list and instead to use the Discourse open source tool: * Home page: http://www.discourse.org/ * License: GPL v2 * FAQ: http://www.discourse.org/faq/ * Awesome feature list: http://www.discourse.org/about/ What is especially interesting for us: * It works with mailing lists (you can receive mails and send mails to the forum). * Works as a forum. BTW if you want to see a real life instance, check the gradle instance at https://discuss.gradle.org/ Nice things: * Works on mobile * Comprehensive API (would allow us to integrate it with xwiki.org) * Badges/user metrics So here’s my +1 to try it out and ask XWiki SAS if they could host an instance. WDYT? Do you see any negative point (I don’t ATM)? :) Please cast your votes! Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] More extension repositories

by Krzysiek Płachno

Hi, I'm about to prepare a plan and timeline with milestones for the task "More extension repositories ". The page with design details ( http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManagerRepositories) gives 10 examples of repositories to set an integration with, whilst the description of task on XWiki GSoC information sub page refers only to 3: Nexus , Bintray , Pypi ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Moreextensionreposit…) . So the task for GSoC work includes integration with all those 10, or just those 3? I need to know it to plan well the milestones. Best, Krzysztof

[xwiki-devs] Glossary Application

by Sarthak Gupta

Hi, On the IRC, I asked about the meaning of the term "Rendering transformation". I went through the Rendering Framework doc and found that 'Rendering' is just a way to convert the DOM (Data Object Model: it connects different programming languages) into a valid output which is shown to the user. Now in the project "Glossary Application" , the idea is to present a list of definitions in the glossary app. I wanted to inquire if the definitions of the 'technical terms'(words which a user while going through the x-wiki page will find difficult to understand) of the x-wiki page is to be listed in the glossary app? And when user clicks on that word then a new page opens listing the definition of that term, feature etc? Thanks :)
