Hi
Now that XWiki is up and running I can now pay attention to the little
details that I would love to have.
Top on my list for the Blog is to be able to create and manage entries
through Ecto3. Now Ecto3 does not support XWiki or XWiki Blog and even
using the Blogger type does not work even though I could connect to
the server.
Confluence does support Ecto (at least the Ecto2 verison) through the
Blogger RPC API type.
There are two ways to fix it. First a XWiki connection plugin could be
created for Ecto but I would thing there are other blogging clients
that would love to get access to XWiki. Another way would be to
support other types of RCP APIs like Blogger (because that is what
Confluence support(ed)). I don't know if that is sufficient for the
entire Wiki but I think it should do the trick for the Blog.
What do you think?
Supporting an api like Blogger or MetaWeblog API sounds like an good
idea, as it can provide access from many blogging clients and ease the
import and export from other blog platforms.
These are Xml-Rpc APIs which rise the following issues:
- XWiki needs an improvement of it's Xml-Rpc API as it is now supporting
only a 'confluence1' method set handler;
- AFAIK, our blog is a XWiki application that uses scripts and XWiki
classes, with non existing model at java level. Having this in Xml-Rpc
now, would mean recoding some of the blog functionality in java.
Even if we won't have this APIs in the near future, it is definitely
something we will look into.
Thanks,
