Hi, My name is Abhinav and I am very interested in the "LDAP server implementation"project you’ve recently posted on GSOC-2013 project ideas list. I am currently doing my Masters in Computer Applications at Anna University, Chennai, India. I have been interested in working with Java and LDAP Server and was hoping to find out a little more about this project. So I would be able to effectively shape my proposal for this project, demonstrating why I am a quality candidate for this project. I am looking forward to a reply from you.

[xwiki-devs] GSOC 2013 - Advanced Email Integration project

by Sushil Kumar

Hi , my name is Sushil Kumar and i'm an undergraduate student at JIIT , Noida (India) . I would like to work on the project Advanced Email Integration via GSOC 2013 . I consulted about the work that need to be done in this project on IRC channel and got a nice explanation . But there was a dilemma between what have to be done in this project and what has already being done here https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-application-mailarchive . Well here are the bullet points which i have understood after two days of talks on IRC . - A SMTP server is required to receive mails and then to attach them as XWikiComments object to a document. - sdumitriu suggested me to use Apache James , but he said that its a full blown mail server and we only need receiving part hence we need to slice that part out. - I found it very hard to slice the SMTP part and embed it with Jetty ( its hard without rewriting the code from scratch and taking help from James and MailArchive plugin ) Now after all these i have certain doubts regarding what exactly needs to be done in this project . - Do we have to integrate a mail server or have to write our own SMTP receiver ? - If we have to integrate a mail server do we have to slice out the SMTP part only? - Or is it something entirely different from these two points. P.S. The same dilemma exists for the Jabber part too. But will figure it out once Email Integration is well understood. Thanks and Regards Sushil Kumar

[xwiki-devs] [Notice] Build promotions

by Vincent Massol

FTR I've configured the Jenkins build promotion plugin this weekend on our CI. What it does now is flag XWiki Enterprise promoted builds with a green star. An enterprise build is promoted when all the functional tests jobs pass. The name of this promotion is "Release to QA" Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [UX][Iteration] Create Wiki / Space / Page step

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi devs, This is not the final proposal, but the state of an iteration. I want to have a consistent 'Create' step across creating wikis/workspaces/spaces/pages. You can see some work done at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/CreateImprovements The 'Create Workspaces' step will contain multiple steps, just like a wizard, but with the mention that you don't need to go across all the steps in order to 'Create'. You can enter the name and just rely on the defaults (default type selected, location according to the context, standard members). I still need to make proposals for Step 2 and Step 3. Today I just show the consistency between Workspaces, Spaces and Pages, by having the "Type" selector that will list Flavors, Templates, etc. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] Using the Young API @Unstable annotation

by Vincent Massol

Hi guys, We now have an @Unstable annotation and we need to use it. I see for example that the Job or Extension module APIs are regularly broken and they're not tagged as Young APIs. IMO they should. Here are some recent examples in 5.0RC1: https://gist.github.com/vmassol/5428600 If we don't use and we continue to break APIs all the time there's no point in having created this new concept of young apis. Some modules have already had several releases done and were done before we created the @Unstable annotation. We should review them and decide if we consider them young apis or not. If so then we should mark it in the release notes and add @Unstable annotations to them. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] Interested in participation

by Rafaela Voiculescu

Hi, * My name is Rafaela. I am currently pursuing a MSc program in Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark, after finishing my Computer Engineering BSc program at Politehnica University in Bucharest. I am planning to apply to this year's GSoC edition and, after scanning through most of the proposed projects, I have to say that the ones proposed by XWiki have definitely got my attention. The ones that I'm quite interested in are the ones about advanced e-mail integration, improving the messaging feature and translation in context. I've already cloned the xwiki-platform repository and I am starting to look over the codebase. Is there anything more I can do to get a better overview of the mentioned projects so that I can decide on which I'd like most to work on? Have a nice day, Rafaela Voiculescu *

[xwiki-devs] Closing Lucene issues when they are fixed in the SOLR implementation

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Since our goal is to have the SOLR implementation be the default search and since our goal is to move the lucene impl to xwiki contrib as a retired project, I propose that whenever a JIRA issue affecting the Lucene search is closed in the current SOLR implementation, we close it as duplicate. I've just done that for http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6228 Hope it's fine with you. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal][UX] Portal entry in menu and breadcrumbs

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi devs, A single wiki model is mostly used to demo XWiki and to test its features. In production usually we have a multiwiki model, because of its flexibility. Since 5.0M2 we also have virtual mode enabled by default, meaning that is even easier to create and manage subwikis/workspaces. No matter if you want independent wikis or workspaces, both cases share a Main Wiki. I propose to call the Main Wiki a 'Portal'. The Portal purpose is to: - both: manage the wikis/workspaces, being the point where you create new wikis/workspaces; - both: help the navigation between wikis/workspaces, by being the 'home' point for them; - workspace: manage the global users, providing access to a User Directory; - workspace: will provide a global view of users' activities in workspaces; - wikis: will provide a webhome (similar to what we have on myxwiki.org) that states the purpose of the farm. Workspace already has a custom menu in which there is present the 'Main' wiki http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/PortalMenu/cur… I've made a proposal for the content of the menus in http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/PortalMenu that we shall discuss. 'Portal' entry is present in the menu and also in the Breadcrumbs. The 'home' icon should be always present in the breadcrumbs, followed by the Wiki/Workspace WebHome and then should be user defined (according to a custom parent/child relation). By having it clearly stated in the menu and in the breadcrumb, it will improve the navigation between workspaces (and will give a home point for the wikis). In single wikis, the Portal entry is skipped. Thanks, Caty
