Hi devs,
I'm reviving this thread since I didn't really get any votes, and I'm about
to
pick some development direction.

Hi devs,
following a discussion with Fabio about the second desired feature for
the
annotations, namely the ability to add
annotations on any document, no
matter
how its content is generated, we came up with the
solution described at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/AnnotationFeature#HSolution1stor…
, the main idea being that annotations would be
defined by their selected
text
and a context (as opposed to offsets) and would
be identified to be
rendered in
a document on a serialization of the transformed
XDOM of the document,
this way
taking into account any macro rendering, document
inclusion, etc.
WDYT about this solution?
Is there anything you see not doable in this? or any
of its "cons" is a
showstopper?
Sounds good to me. Here's my +1
Guillaume
Also, because the implementation of this, though relatively localized,
comes
together with refactor and cleanup of the
annotations module (update
everything
so that annotations don't store and use
offsets anymore, remove classes&
functions which are not needed in this simplified process), I propose to
include
this improvement in version 1.0 of the
annotations module (so that we
don't
cleanup and release what we know for sure
we'll delete) and push the 1.0
version
further to mid to end December.
here's my +1 for this,
WDYT?
Following a discussion with Fabio today, the plan at this moment is to:
1/ finish improving the tests (so that the power and limitations of the
current
solution are checked by a set of tests)
2/ eliminate all the code related to implementations for specific document
types
(watch's feed entry documents, for example, everything should be handled as
an
xwiki doc), so that the remaining code is cleaner and easier to maintain
3/ implement a prototype of the solution presented above, hopefully passing
at
least the tests that were passing at 1/
4/ minimal improvements on the js UI, making it usable in real life
5/ release 1.0
Is there a different strategy you would prefer?
Thanks,
Anca
