Hi Tharindu,
Good work, the mockups are nice!
I've read the use cases too and I think it's missing the key feature:
* The ability to edit pages inside the Eclipse editor (as opposed to editing a page inside a browser inside Eclipse). We discussed this in your past emails and we agreed this was important. I think this should be one of the first use cases. Maybe you wish to implement it just a little bit after?
* Other important use cases:
- ability to save the content of a page in a local eclipse store for working offline
- ability to download all pages of a space or the whole wiki to that store
- type ctrl-S to save a modified page
- warning when trying to save a locally modified page that has also been modified on the server after the last sync was done
* Next steps I'm proposing:
A) List all use cases you're planning to implement within the GSOC. We need the full list as much as possible. Please put them all on the wiki page I mentioned.
B) Define several milestones containing each a set of use cases. Please try to map each milestone against XWiki releases as much as possible (1.1M2, M3, M4, M5, etc). See http://jira.xwiki.org the planned delivery dates. It's better we all work on the same delivery cycles. C) Create as many JIRA issues as you have use cases + one JIRA issue that is the main issue for your GSOC project. Please set the fix for for these jira issues against the defined milestones in B) above. Note: For now please create the jira issues in the XWiki project. I'll create a separate jira project for your GSOC project in a few days and I'll move the issues over. You can use a component of "Others" for now.
WDYT?
Let us know if you have other questions.
Thanks!
-Vincent

Hi all,
Here I have attached some mock GUIs and a very intuitive requirements spec that illustrate the
basic workings of XWiki-Eclipse plug-in. It's better if we can finalize these drafts soon because I
need to go on with the development :). I have few doubts on the java package structure as well as
about the icon graphics for the plug-in (i thought of re-using eclipse's ones where suitable).
I went through XWiki XML RPC APIs and am comfortable with thw way they work (had to
sharpen my SWT skills too). I'm looking forward to hear from you..
