Hi Vincent and devs
Sounds interesting, unfortunately the announcement was pretty late and we
did not manage to discuss it before today.
Yeah I'm really sorry about this one. I could and should have announced it earlier.
Will try to do better next year!
The bad news is, we (Fabian
Pichler and I) can not free the next 10 days, the good news is we think we
can squeeze in 2-3 days to get one of our many extensions to run on the
current XWiki version.
Great.
The older among you maybe remember: we built
Celements, a content
management system on XWiki and wanted to share some of our things for a
long time, but until now it never happened. This could be the chance to
finally get started.
Excellent!
We just talked about which extensions XWiki could be
most interested in and
thought we let you decide between a selection of three extensions:
1. Layouts: one skin to rule them all ;-)
A skin which allows to freely create layouts (advanced templating for
XWiki) which can be chosen per page.
2. Photos:
Allows more image formats and manipulations than the ImagePlugin.
3. Publish:
A document with an according object attached needs edit rights to view
outside the publication time frame.
We kept the description here intentionally short. For more details, see:
http://www.celements.ch/Hackathon2013
Nice page and explanations :)
They're all great, I'd say pick the one you prefer and that you can finish in the
little time you have available.
I hope you'll get the time to contribute something on extensions.xwiki.org, that would
be awesome :)
Thanks a lot
-Vincent
Thanks
Edo Beutler
