Hi Squirrel,
Pardon me if it's already on your roadmap (there isn't one published yet,
right?):
Well, there is
http://watch.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Roadmap , but it
lacks lot of information. You can always give a look at the JIRA to see what
are the curent priorities.
* As far as I understand, the groups are used to
categorize the feeds input
& listing. I'd like to see something like 'favorites' or
'workbook', where
a
user would store an article (or even own documents) he did find interesting
from the feed listing or on the web. Beside keeping your personal things
together, it might be interesting to see what other people are interested
in. Maybe you could realize that as an extension to the user space/profile.
The "star" option already lets you mark the articles you really like... If
an user wants to keep some specific articles to himself, he can also go to
that article page on the wiki (they're hard to find right now, but give a
look at the what's new page of your wiki and you'll see what I mean) and use
the watch feature (that is, the bookmark / favorite one) to keep track of
the article for himself.
The reason we're having the same star applying to everyone right now into
the reader is that they're supposed to reflect the community's collective
wisdom over a number of articles. The collaborative part of the reader means
that everyone gets to see the same content : boring articles can be deleted
by one person, meaning that other people won't have to even skim through
them while starred ones can be exported for others to enjoy.
But overall XWatch is meant as a collaboration tool, which is why most stuff
is shared between all the users instead of having individual, personal
watchlists. There are 2 populations meant to use the tool though :
- Information filterers : they read the article, flag and delete them,
tag them...
- Informaiton consumers : they can subscribe to the Press Review for a
specific tag for instance
* Feeds are not working if the website itself needs
authentication (I guess
that's a really hard one or indeed unsolveable)
* The search field needs a click on the 'OK'-button, 'Enter' is not
working
If it's not already on your roadmap and you can use the input, I'd be happy
to create JIRA's.
Please do. Thanks for the kind words as well :-)
Guillaume
Cheers,
Squirrel
PS: I like this 'Watch' more and more...has a lot of potential...especially
in bigger projects...

Hi,
First time I tried 'XWiki Watch' (standalone JAR). I like the idea very
much.
Hi Squirrel,
thanks for your interest in XWiki Watch.
Is it planned to support manual added pages too? The use-case would be,
if
someone finds a specific article, which other
team members could maybe
use
> too. So instead adding the whole RSS (if even one is available) you
would
just add
the specific link to the article and comment it, group it, tag
and
flag it...
Yes, we have this idea too and it's in the features list for the next
versions, along with other content improvement methods.
Cheers,
Squirrel
PS: Could you maybe add a link to the actual Watch space, too (on the
first
page of the installation and on the sidebar)?
Will do.
Happy coding,
Anca Luca

but
the default watch from XWiki, I figured...*g*
