Hi guys,
We have been working with XWiki for some time now and have developed a solution for
managing processes for Dutch government organizations. Now it is time to start returning
to the XWiki community some of the work we have done. We have - for example - implemented
a small Slack integration module available for use in Velocity or directly from java
modules but there will be more that we would like to put back once they are ready.
This would be awesome. It would be so great for XWiki to have a slack integration!
The one, we would like to start with is a simple slack
module aiming at sending messages to Slack using the Slack-webhooks. The project uses a
simple class to pre-define the various web hooks for configuration. Access is available
from velocity or from java.
Since it is our first contribution, I could use some guidance in what is needed to
contribute to XWiki. The Slack component is a simple but very useful contribution but I’m
not sure what is - commonly - used for such a project (except obviously github). I’m
fairly sure, I would not need a Sonar Project report but I rely on your experience for
what is useful. My github account is phuisman.
Very cool. I suggest starting with a github repo + a JIRA project, which I can create for
you quickly.
All we need to decide is the name you wish to give to the github repo.
If you plan to use this repo for adding the remaining features later on, you could name it
something like: application-slack.
OTOH if you wish to have several repositories, then we'd need a more specific name.
Let me know which name to use.
I invite you to take a look at an example of our
environment that we have setup to demonstrate our capabilities :
http://demo.360overheid.wiki (which unfortunately is Dutch)
I tried to look but I couldn’t find quickly the page where I could see the slack
integration in action (I don’t speak Dutch ;)).
If you have further questions of remarks, I would be
happy to answer or comply with any of them.
Thanks for all the work you have done and support you have given us. I am waiting for you
reply.
I’m really looking forward to have your contributions in xwiki-contrib and deployed on
extensions.xwiki.org, and to work with you! :)
Thanks
-Vincent
With kind regards,
