Hi Devs,
I would like to improve Wiki Importer sandbox project, by making few changes
to the design to widen it scope of usage, and make sure its useful to the
community.
Great!
In the existing one (
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/xwiki-wikiimporter/), I
have implemented import from MediaWiki XML.
Limitations:
* listener implementation is tightly coupled with storage ( Importing/Saving
pages or other objects into XWiki).
* listener doesnt include all the xwiki related events.
* No separate storage component, that can enable both imports and exports (
e.g. export the parsed content into XAR ).
Existing documentation on WikiImporter :
http://gsoc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Import+Export+other+wikis/WebHome
http://gsoc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Import+Export+other+wikis/Wiki+Impor…
Can i move the design documentation to Design Proposal wiki.?
Definitely.
Millions of features ;)
At first yes but it became an event system where you can have some
exported wiki as input and a db importer as output. But you could also
change the output for a car exported for example. And ad input you can
have a database reader, etc...
Basically the goal is to do the new XWiki import/export system as well
as a lots of use case like migrate a wiki by puting a REST importer as
input and a database writer as output, etc...
Importing other wikis would be just one use case among others.
As Thomas suggested, it will be good to rename
wiki importer to converter as
it is not limited to importing only, So am planning to change it to
WikiConverter.
WDYT?
Sounds good to me although I don't know enough to judge. I liked importer since I
thought it was about importer data from another wiki into XWiki. What other features is
there?
Thanks
-Vincent
