Hi,
myxwiki.org seem to crash quite a lot recently and we have also detected
that it's using a lot of CPU (compared to many other services that XWiki
SAS is running).
I've taken a memory dump of myxwiki.org to give it a look.
I see in the memory analysis 400Mb in the velocimacro structures. This
could be normal as there are some caches of macros for each wiki (and there
are a lot of wikis), however this is a lot and should be looked at.
I've put the page
http://www.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Admin/CheckVelocityManager to check
if we see any macros being cached that should not be (like the bug we had
on USH).
In any case, in multiwiki we have an issue with cache of velocity macros
which can grow pretty big without any cleaning up when the wiki is not
accessed.
I've also closed registration on the main wiki (there seem to be spam
users) and will run some scripts with check for open wikis and for pages
with big RCS (spam suspects).
We should in any case reduce the load of myxwiki (private cloud analysis
shows a big CPU usage) and for this some cleaning up of unused wiki sounds
like a plan. We should contact all users and closed unused wikis (I bet
there are a lot).

Hello all,
I’m writing this e-mail because I want to propose supporting Internet
Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11 on 6.x cycle.
First of all, it’s known that Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 9
are still widely used by users, but many of them are currently choosing to
update to IE10 and IE11. According to netmarketshare.com (Browsers ->
Desktop Share by Version) from a total of 100%, IE10 is used by 6.85% users
and IE11 by 16.61% users. It’s true that IE10 is not as popular as the
older versions (IE8 - 20.85% and IE9 - 8.89%), but its usage percentage is
still significant.
Second of all, both versions (IE10 and IE11) have some problems rendering
our content sometimes, and you will see that below:
IE10 known problems (unfixed) reported on JIRA:
1. XWIKI-10269: Table edit: pressing enter inserts new line in a
different table cell
2. XWIKI-10299: The last annotation for a word isn’t displayed on IE10
3. XWIKI-10300: If a text has multiple annotations after removing one of
them the text looks like isn’t annotated on IE10
4. XWIKI-10192: The "Username" and "Password" input fields don't have
the same size
IE11 known problems (unfixed) reported on JIRA:
1. XWIKI-9933: When you press "Alt+C" in IE11 (cancel edition) in edit
wiki mode, the wiki session is canceled, but it also appears the "View
favourites, feeds and history" option
2. XWIKI-9787: Jump to a page using CTRL+G doesn’t work
3. XWIKI-10192: The "Username" and "Password" input fields don't have
the same size
Last but not least, since December - January I’ve been testing IE10 and
IE11 (smoke tests or full tests) and their biggest problems were with
WYSIWYG (you can see that on: XWIKI-9698, XWIKI-10282 and XWIKI-10283).
So, what do you think?

Hi devs,
I know this have been removed and considered too technical, but I am sure
this is a bad idea because:
- we display it in EM, so is it less technical there ?
- this is the only way to be sure you talk about the same extension, and
there are couple of extension with very similar names
- it allows finding the right extension for sure (using advance search),
which could avoid ambiguities while working remotely with an end user
Ok, it should not be the title of the document, but it should be there
somewhere to be copy pasted.
Here is my +1 to put it back.

Hi,
I'm working on the realtime wysiwyg extension and it's working fairly
well but it's still a bit rough around the edges, some issues I'm
aware of and others I am not so I would like to #1 move it to xwiki-contrib
git repository and #2 have a bugtracker project to keep track of issues
for this project.
I'm thinking RTWYSIWYG as a project name on the xwiki.org bugtracker, does
this make sense?
Thanks,
Caleb
Yesterday, I was talking to some of you on IRC, and I realized that we do
not have the same expectations about our Bootstrap usage. So I would like
to write a brief summary of my thoughts.
Benefits of using Bootstrap
======
* Good-looking and practicals components to re-use.
* A responsive CSS grid
* Supported by a great community
* Newcomers on XWiki will find a tool they might already know.
That's already some good reasons to use it!
What it cannot do for us
=====
* Out-of-the box usage of a compiled Bootstrap CSS with different colors.
Why?
* The images URL needs to be rewritten (/xwiki/bin/resources/etc...)
* A compiled Bootstrap CSS does not allow us to use the mix-ins (ie
'functions') that we can use with the Bootstrap sources. So it's less
powerful.
* There will always be a need to write some 'fixs' to not break the
existing XWiki applications.
Moreover, the kits that we can find on the internet, in my opinion, do not
only change the parameters of Bootstrap. But they should also add their own
CSS classes with an example of use in a HTML template. It will never
auto-magically fit with XWiki.
What I have in mind
=====
Write a color theme editor, inspired by what there is for Bootstrap, that
allows us to set values for bootstrap variables we decide to expose (there
are more than 300, so I guess we should make a choice). We can take
inspiration from http://stylebootstrap.info/ (but it should be less
technical IMO).
Plus add a textarea that lets the user enter some LESS code. So they could
set other bootstrap variables and create their own CSS classes.
So integrating a theme kit bought on the web would be possible without too
much effort as soon as the LESS files are provided within the kit.
Example: integrating a theme from Bootswatch ( http://bootswatch.com/ )
====
Let say we want to integrate http://bootswatch.com/slate/ into XWiki, using
the Flamingo skin.
Steps:
1 - Create a new Color Theme for Flamingo
2 - In http://bootswatch.com/slate/ , download variables.less and
bootswatch.less
3 - Paste the content of these 2 files in the textarea at the bottom of the
Color Theme Editor.
4 - If some problem occurs, add some fixes in the textarea.
Results:
http://tof.canardpc.com/view/73dd64b9-2023-4839-8dcc-47880d823591.jpg
Not perfect, so we need some fixes (about the glyphicons). After removing
from the textarea the following line:
@icon-font-path: "../fonts/";
We get:
http://tof.canardpc.com/view/cd25fc9f-921f-4582-b2c7-05680dd6d284.jpg
Looks quite simple, maybe not enough for a basic user, but still good for
web integrators.
WDYT?
Thanks
Guillaume
Another idea which couldn't bother normal users for anonymous XWiki
comments would be separation between GET/POST submits, because spammers
mostly use GET instead of POST.
I couldn't find how added comment request is handled on server side
though. I suspect, it is not handled with velocity scripts.
Can you provide some directions?
Thanks!

Hi,
xwiki-tools is a set of command line tools and a node.js library for building
and parsing parts of xwiki .xar files. It is unique in that it contains a
fairly complete model of XWiki documents, objects, and classes which is not
based on the original model in oldcore. It is capable of compiling a filesystem
representation of an xwiki extension such as: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/realtime-wysiwyg
into either a Maven compatible directory structure or a .xar file (which can
optionally be auto-posted up to the rest interface of a running wiki).
Until now I have never considered moving it into xwiki-contrib because it was
always "the ducttape I needed to make the real project I was doing approachable"
but even if it does not enjoy API stability guarantees, it is useful even if
only as a tool for facilitating better thought about the XWiki model so I would
like to move it into xwiki-contrib repository and setup a bugtracker for it.
Unfortunately the name xwiki-tools which is quite descriptive in the npm
repository is not so helpful in xwiki-contrib so I would be willing to rename
it to node-xwikimodel (in npm it would be xwikimodel) and using a jira project
name NODEXWIKIMODEL.
WDYT?
The project:

Hi all,
I want to add a javascript library called PramukhIME(
http://www.vishalon.net/PramukhIME/JavaScriptLibrary.aspx) into an XWiki
page.
The objective is to edit Kannada language text(which is already in
the page) in a XWiki page.Also,as I wan't to edit multiple pages,it will be
better if the library is added only once(together for all pages).
As I am new to XWiki, I don't know the basics of XWiki programming
and can't even find relevant documents. Can someone please help me out..
