Hi
I know that we all volunteer for this project and so this is not a
critic of anybody's work but I have to say that the Feed Plugin has
more holes than a Swiss cheese and I should know. I could work
around all the issues but now the SyndEntryDocumentSource class does
not render Wiki 2.0 code (hard coded to 1.0).
There is also an issue where the conversion of Categories fails in
the Rome Converters because the Categories is a String but the Rome
expects a SyncdCategory. The only conversion that works so far is
atom_0.3.
One of the problems I see with the Feed Plugin is that the test
suite is not sufficient and therefore many of the method now fail in
2.0. I would volunteer to help to build it if someone could show me
to how to setup a test environment where I could execute the Feed
Plugin against (Blog first). Is there a plugin that tests against a
mock up XWiki to make sure it is working?
Yes, the feed plugin was written pre-new architecture (component-based
with tests)... It'll need to be redesigned/rewritten at some points to
align it. This rewrite is not planned by any current committer so this
will take a while (unless someone volunteers to do it) so I think it's
safe to fix it here and there if needed for the moment.
Thanks
