[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] [GSOC] Wiki Importer Enhancement

Hi Devs, As the existing Wiki Importer ( GSOC PROJECT - SANDBOX <http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/sandbox/gsoc/importexport/>) have few set backs in architecture, i would like to make a proposal to modify and enhance to make it better. Here is my proposal : http://gsoc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Import+Export+other+wikis/Wiki+Impor… - A new Wiki model api ( Wiki, Wiki Page, Wiki Page Revision, Wiki Attachment ) which adheres to XWiki Standards. - Separation of Import process, Parsing the import data into a abstract wiki model will be a component. Clients can use it to make their own custom implementation. This abstract model is used by the other XWiki component / client code (Groovy & velocity ) to load the data into XWiki with standard features and little customization (like Preserving history, default names, attachments etc.. ). - Using the existing XWiki model api or xwiki-bridge rather than coming up with a new one. But the issues here is, i dont have all the things which are needed and it has lot more methods which are of no use in import process. Can i proceed with a custom wiki model like this. ? - As wiki importer process large streams of data, would it be wise to design the API more stream oriented and include few stream oriented methods.? I would like to have your suggestions on this. Thanks -Arun Reddy
