One thing I've been hinting about a few times and
that I have never seen yet and would be really cool for just about any XWiki installation
with a development team would be to have a configurable set servers to which you could
export a page or space (and maybe even a list of pages).
The scenarios I see there is that you start developing a function, then want to bring up
to beta or production.
Alternatively, you start to debug an issue and you need to transfer a few potentially
problematic data to dev to study it.
This would, of course, require admin rights both sides.
I am not sure if it's doable as a single shot, using local browser storage, but that
would be the coolest.
This is a bit hijacking the thread I started since it’s different topic altogether… :)
Regarding your use case, I know Thomas wanted to have that too, using the Filter Module,
see:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Filter+Module
Specifically I think that’s the intent of the "XWiki instance input and output
(xwiki+instance/1.1)” Filter. It doesn’t have any documentation ATM, not sure why. It’s
probably missing a UI ATM but I guess it’s scriptable for now. Thomas would know more.
Thanks

I don’t think it’s a good idea to start putting more and more admin actions in menus.
Actually what we should probably do is generalize the concept of the Admin UI at all
levels: Page level, Space level and Wiki level.

I can think of at least 2: Export Page, Page level rights
