Re: [xwiki-devs] [proposal] Dashboard macro implementation

Hi devs, knowing that gadgets will be xwiki macros instances (in any of the approaches) we need a way to add all these in a dashboard. Proposed options are at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HDashboardMacr… . Currently implemented solution is 1/ which has a few drawbacks: it defines a meta syntax for its content and this syntax doesn't allow more complex layouts than a number of columns. The new proposal is 4) http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HOption429Colu… , which basically proposes to use nested column macros ( http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/projects/xwiki-macro-column/ ) to do layouting and extend the section macro with a dashboard macro which would be used on the first level to mark that the columned content is a dashboard and not just regular wiki content. For more details about the approach see the description in the design page, as well as for the advantages of this proposal. my +1, I like this approach, I will try to prove the concept in the next days. WDYT?
