Hello dear developers and XWiki users.
I would you to take a look at the issue
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13070.
The problem is that the current order (that I have implemented based on my
intuition) seems to not be clear for our users. The main point is that the
menu mixes up global items (Home wiki, Wiki Index) and local ones
(Administer Wiki, Page Index, Delete wiki, etc...).
Caty and Oliver have made some proposals that you could find in the issue.
They are called P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5.
I propose you to express your preferences so we can implement it based on a
consensus.
Here are mine:
P1: There is a logical order and separation between item. However, it seems
the more used actions (Wiki Index, Page Index) are less visible than some
other (Delete Wiki, Create Wiki...)
P2: The order and the separation are logic. The "delete wiki" action is
still very visible but all other items are good.
P3: Same than P2. Except that having "Wiki Index" along with "User, Page
and Application Index" mixes up local and global items.
P4: Why not, but maybe the 3 first actions should be placed after the other
ones, since they would be less used. Same remark about the mixing of local
and global items.
P5: A clear distinction between local and global scope. More used items are
located first. This is my favorite one.
So +1 for P5, +0 for the other options so far.
Now, what about you?
Thanks,
Guillaume
PS: I send this message to both devs and users mailing lists, because I
think users are directly concerned by this topic.

Hi devs,
I’m referring to those artifacts:
http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/contrib/markdown/
Rationale: So that XWiki Rendering can be used with Markdown syntax without having to add the XWiki remote Maven repository.
Is it ok with everyone to push contrib artifacts to Maven Central (it's the first time we'd do this!)?
Right now we have only commons and rendering artifacts, see http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/xwiki/
I'm asking since we cannot undo this…
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: We have the same question for Mediawiki artifacts (except mediawiki-xml which depends on platform) now that they are in contrib too: http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/contrib/mediawiki/
Hello devs,
I want to publish a macro to interact with salesforce.
It will be a few macros with groovy code and some samples to show how to
use them.
- a repository on xwiki-contrib called "macro-salesforce"
- no e.x.o page yet, as I will release the app once it's commited (it's not
fully ready as it still needs some cleanup)

Thanks,

FYI, there might be some stuff to improve/fix in CKEditor.

I feel it is better to use Xwiki7.4.x with ckeditor Extension & customize application-ckeditor-webjar-1.3.x.jar to full functional ckeditor. My main reason to use ckeditor is to avoid wiki tag setting like ||target="_blank" . Most of users want to use ckeditor Full function version, not want to use wikitag.

Hi devs,
We now include a few contrib apps in XE. However, when someone checks the RN for XE, for example http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki83M2 all they see is this:
“The following dependencies have been upgraded:
* Tour Application 1.0.4”
It doesn’t say if there are any substantial things added those deps.
I can think of 2 solutions:
1) When something is noticeable, add it to the RN of XE. So for example if CKEditor extension adds something new, users checking the RN of XE can see it immediately.
2) Link to the RN of the extension. However RN of extensions on e.x.o are not nice. They’re just lists of JIRA issues. So for this solution to be a bit satisfactory we would need to improve the RN of extensions, starting with those we bundle in XE. Another possibility is to say that for Recommended Extensions we pay an extra care to write nice Release Notes. But that’s harder to enforce and ensure.
Option 1) is my preference.
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi devs,
With the recent introduction of the Applications Index (see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Application+Index+Appl…) we need to agree on a few things.
In the past we had:
* We wanted all new app that you installed to automatically be visible in the Applications Panel
* This is why the Applications Panel config had a blacklist (and not a white list)
What we’ve done:
* We add the Applications Index
* We removed some apps from the Applications Panel. Namely: Invitation, Panels, Scheduler, User Directory and Tour applications. this was done using hardcoded blacklist xobjects in PanelsCode.ApplicationsPanelConfiguration.
The need:
* We need to remove this hack. It’s not normal for the Panels module to know all the apps that shouldn’t be listed in it!
Proposal:
* Replace the blacklist configuration of the Applications Panel by a whitelist one
* When a new app is installed, list it in the Applications Index but don’t add it to the Applications Panel
* If an admin wants to add this new for his users, he’ll need to add it in the Admin UI for the Applications Panel.
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi devs,
I’m working on http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10543 and it’s been reported by Nicolas that all the users he’s seen use XWiki don’t use the Message Stream feature and moreover they even ask him to remove it.
One specific issue he’s raised is that the messages are sent to the AS (either the global one or the user’s one) and the messages are drowned with the page updates.
Basically we’d need to polish this feature better to make it really useful.
I agree with this POV. I also agree that in order to make XWiki simpler and less cluttered, this feature could be disabled.
Thus I’m proposing to still bundle it but to disable it, since we already have a Message Stream Admin UI config.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
