[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki 6.x Cycle Theme

Hi devs, We’re getting close to the end of the 5.x cycle with 5.4 and we need to find a new theme for 6.x. At XWiki SAS we’ve had an internal meeting to brainstorm about what that theme could be and we’ve come up with the following idea: Theme motto: “Slick and Slim” Explanations: * Performance improvements across the board: page load time, scalability, activity stream rewrite, memory usage rationalization * Introduce the flavor mechanism (as already discussed here) with the idea of removing the maximum of extensions from the base and be able to build a minimal, lightweight wiki + create a few flavors (as already discussed here too). * Slickiness achieved with things like new skin (see the proposal from Caty) + syntax highlighting + autocompletion + easier rights UI + etc… In short we’ve realized that XWiki has grown along the years and it’s becoming a bit heavyweight in various aspects. So the idea would be to focus on performances + ease of use to slim it down and ensure it’s kicking fast! Of course, as usual, I’m sure there’ll be other things being worked on, but the idea would be to try our maximum to work within this theme. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
