[xwiki-devs] [proposal] Stop saving documents in the cache when they are stored in the database.

by Caleb James DeLisle

Hi, There are 2 reasons I want to stop caching documents when they are stored. 1. Coherence, it should be impossible for the cache to have a different entry than the store. Suppose a document is stored and the storage fails without throwing any error, the document will appear to be stored correctly until the cache is purged. Another more likely scenario is that the document loaded from the store is slightly different than the document saved to the store and thus the cache will be lying. 2. Performance, when an attachment is added to a document, the document contains all of the attachment's content. My analysis tells me switching to holding the content with a soft reference would be quite complex and proving that nothing depends on the attachment content not being null is very difficult. The proposed change will prevent the attachment content from ever being stored in the cache and provide an improvement in allowable cache capacity and memory footprint. WDYT? Caleb

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Start introducing XWiki Syntax 2.1 (experimental)

by Vincent Massol

Hi everyone, In the rendering module we need to progress on some issues. For example I'd like to implement support for relative URLs: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3611 This means introducing XWiki Syntax 2.1 which will a point release after XWiki Syntax 2.0. Of course any page in XWiki Syntax 2.0 will be able to be converted in 2.1 syntax. FTM we haven't fully defined yet the full list of changes in XWiki Syntax 2.1. The idea is to introduce in 2.5 an experimental XWiki Syntax 2.1 syntax to show it's not finished yet (in the UI the syntax name will be "XWiki Syntax 2.1 (experimental)") and start introducing changes, the first one being support for relative URLs. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] XEM, Workspaces and Wiki3.0

by Fabio Mancinelli

Hi everybody, I am writing to the list in order to discuss an architectural choice which I had the chance to talk about with Vincent. In the framework of the Wiki3.0 [1] projects we are building a social extension of XWiki that will introduce social-oriented functionalities in the platform. One of these functionalities are related to "Workspaces" which have been defined as a "virtual place where a group of users can collaborate on a given topic. A workspace implicitly defines a social-network which consists of the users that participate to the activities in the context of a given workspace." A workspace, besides having a set of users subscribed to it, has also a set of applications that are related to the type of the interactions that are carried in the workspace itself (e.g., a blog, a meeting manager, etc.) This is the abstract picture. At the architectural level this could be implemented in different ways. What we briefly discussed with Vincent is that workspaces could be easily handled by using XEM. In this case, instead of having a mapping Workspace <-> space in a single Wiki we would have a Workspace <-> wiki in a multiwiki setup managed by XEM. This has several advantages since the current features can be already leveraged and extended in order to implement workspace functionalities: 1) existing applications are already ready-to-deploy 2) rights management is already enough to manage subscriptions 3) being a workspace a full wiki this gives the users more flexibility (e.g., they are not constrained to a single space for organizing their content) In this picture the main wiki could be used only as a "user container" and will have all the functionalities (UI + code) to manage workspaces' lifecycle (i.e., creation, deletion). Additional functionalities will the be present in the workspace wiki for actually managing the workspace (i.e., adding/removing members, subscription management for open workspaces, workspace attributes management and so on). Initially I haven't thought about workspaces as wikis in a XEM context by the idea is very powerful and I think we should build it in this way. WDYT? Thanks, -Fabio [1] https://wiki30.xwikisas.com

[xwiki-devs] [proposal] Remove the old rights UI

by Alex Busenius

Hi devs, I propose to remove the old rights interface (called "stable"). This interface was replaced by the current version (the one with livetable) in XWiki 1.2 several years ago, but the old code is still there. The following files are affected: web/standard/**/templates/rightsUI.vm applications/administration/**/XWiki/AdminGroupsSheet.xml applications/administration/**/XWiki/AdminUsersSheet.xml applications/administration/**/XWiki/XWikiGroupSheet.xml applications/panels/**/Panels/GlobalRightsEditorWelcome.xml applications/panels/**/Panels/RightsEditorWelcome.xml core/xwiki-core/**/plugin/rightsmanager/RightsManagerPluginApi.java The Java file contains the method getDefaultUi() to read the xwiki.rights.defaultui configuration property, the rest has parts of the interface. WDYT? Alex

[xwiki-devs] Status of the includeMacros macro in XE 2.4

by Luis Arias

Hi, I posted http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-700 a couple of days ago and am writing now because more and more of the Balsamiq Mockups for XWiki users are attempting or would like to migrate to 2.4 but have pages with mockups embedded using #includeMacros. I'd like to know if #includeMacros is definitely not going to be supported from 2.4 onwards or if this is a bug that will be fixed at some point. We can update the plugin (already have actually) to use the recommended syntax for new mockups but still have the issue of dealing with existing pages. I would also like your thoughts on a simple workaround which ideally we could ask our users / wiki admins to do. Thanks, Luis

Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal][UX] Recent Changes Improvements

by Jerome Velociter

Great ! I like it a lot. I think Fabio's remark about the "changed status" being useless (implied) still holds. Also that user updates should somehow "stand out" compared to other entries (because it's human content vs. generated updates) that's why initially I've kept the big double quotes. Anyway those are minor tweaks, I agree with the general idea.
