Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] New Link and Image syntax for XWiki Syntax 2.2

Hi devs, I have a very bad feeling with proposal 3, since it split the identifier, which makes its main part to loose its meaning when taken alone. So you cannot comunicate the whole information easily on different channels (think about copy/pasting such reference ?). This is also really verbose, sometime it looks odd, and I found it to be complex from a user view point. Moreover, it could not be easily applied in other situation than links, while ressource identification is not limited to links (think about a macro arguments ?, see MotionComposer macro that imitate image: for an example). I know it is hard, but I am currently -1 for this proposal. If we look at large, what we really need and intend to achieve is to have an extensible syntax to identify ressources in XWiki. There is obviously a ready made standardized syntax for such purpose: URN. Proposal 1 is really near that specification (but too verbose for URL), but I agree with Thomas that users will complains to be forced to use doc: everywhere. This is precisely why I made proposal 2, which will fully avoid that constrains for user of single wikis (a lot of our user since XE was our mostly downloaded distribution until now). So my vote are (sorry Vincent, but your request to have a truly single vote is far too restrictive for this matter) +1 to really conform with a URN syntax as much as possible (remove the useless verbosity for URL). Proposal 1: +0 Proposal 2: +1 Proposal 3: -1 Thanks, On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 12:30 PM, Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net> wrote: images vote ideas. -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO eGuilde sarl - CTO _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
