Re: [xwiki-devs] Rewriting the comments plug-in into a component

Hi Vincent, Vincent Massol wrote: The plug-in was written initially by Raluca and Ludovic and is located here: - https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/sandbox/plugins/comments/ There was an old design page for it but it was outdated and afterwards deleted. Now we have only a layout design page, here: - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewCommentsImplementation The first thing we should do is to see how we can integrate it with the platform. Ludovic made a patch for the core, can you review it and see if you can apply it? I need to finish the test suite for it and do some refactoring. My intention is to rewrite the plug-in into a component but I'm starting to doubt that I can do that at the moment. As we approach XWiki 2.0 we should put more effort into creating the bridges that we need, so that will have a fully component oriented architecture. The problem is that we cannot create really powerful components, right now. I think we should avoid using 1.0 elements in the new components. The only things that we should change, when breaking the core into pieces, are the bridge components implementation. This also applies for the storage and other changes. I see two options: 1) We first analyze what bridges we need and start developing them. And only after that we switch to heavy implementation of components; 2) We write and enrich the bridges on the fly as we create new components. Which do you think is the best one?
