Hi devs,
Working on the auto-suggestion feature [1], I've been integrating it
in xproperties holding a reference to a page. Those xproperties are of
type String and have been changed to the Page type so that the page
displayer is used and shows the auto-suggestion when needed.
I now need to implement an auto-suggestion on xproperties holding a
reference to a space (e.g [2]), a wiki (e.g [2]) and an attachment
(e.g. [3]).
I think the best would be to create an Attachment and Wiki xproperty
type and create new displayers exactly like the Page type.
I don't think we can create a Space xproperty because it's not meant
to be visible by the end user.
Maybe we could use the Page xproperty type and have a parameter inside
to select only spaces.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Adel

Hi devs,
Misses from the 10.8 roadmap:
* Macro inline editing in WYSIWYG - Design done but no implementation done. Lack of time.
* Continue work on performance - Thomas started but didn’t commit anything (lack of time/focus, help others, TFD, etc)
* Auto complete of references in WYSIWYG Macro Dialog - Adel researched it but no work committed. Lack of time. Adel worked on fixing some issues discovered in the reference auto complete code already committed.
* Investigate how we could make the upgrade experience simpler. Just starting now. Lack of time.
We’ll put the misses in 10.9, see below.
Proposal for XWiki 10.9:
* Thomas/Vincent: Improve STAMP KPIs (20%) - 1 day per week
* All: BFD (20%)
* Thomas: continue work on performance (started in 10.4). Goal: go back to XWiki 8.x performance! Hint: https://t.co/0ZckyVYg6c ;)
* Simon/Marius (moved from 10.8 roadmap): Macro inline editing in WYSIWYG
* Adel/Marius (moved from 10.8 roadmap): Auto complete of references in WYSIWYG Macro Dialog (+ grouping feature so that users don't get both "page" and "reference" at the same time + "deprecated"/"priority" to show "page" more proemintenly than "reference")
* Simon: Page Move/Renaming: don't allow and/or warn when moving pages containing xclass definitions. Use case: prevent users from breaking AWM apps they created
* Guillaume: Remove AS whenever it's used and replaced it with the new Notifications macro
Best effort: If we have time (otherwise candidates for 10.10+):
* Marius/Adel/Simon: Display Reference of documents to copy paste
* Marius/Adel/Simon: Improve the XClass picker when in object edit mode (make it like the Add Macro dialog for WYSIWYG editor)
* Thomas: work on some items to make the upgrade experience simpler + unattended upgrades (ability to upgrade XWiki from the command line without interaction). Use the result of Caty's investigation from XWiki 10.8 period.
Dates:
* 10.9RC1: 22 October (made it 4 weeks instead of the usual 3 since we have some margin). This should give us more time to work on the different topics
* 10.9Final: 29 October
WDYT?
I’ll create the roadmap page on xwiki.org a bit later today and you’ll be able to edit it and add the jira issues for each topic.
Thanks

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki
10.8-rc-1.
In this version we have added a new tab in the user profile that displays
the groups a user is part of. We've added auto-suggest for pages in several
places and improved the startup speed on Tomcat. We've also replaced our
CAPTCHA implementation with a new one and it's now very easy to change and
preview, from Administration, the CAPTCHA type that it will be used in your
wiki.
