Hi,
This sounds useful, so please upload it on code.xwiki.org (you can
register your own user on www.xwiki.org)
Done ;O)
I just created this page
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/XSLPlugin
Where i uploaded my source code package.
You could also look at the (unreleased yet, but mostly
written) XML
plugin (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPXML-1). Source code can be
checked out from
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/xwiki-plugins/trunk/xml/
I written the plugin by my self ignoring that there is something similar.
I would like some feedback from you:
- How long have you been using XWiki?
2/3 Months
- When and why did you decide to go inside the code?
Last month.. We have choose it for our internal portal.
- Was it easy to understand the XWiki architecture?
In terms of coding.. it was not simple.
Before start to write the plugin i needed to extended the authentication
subsystem to support "Single Sing On" with our SUN Portal Server (It
uses AM Server as Identity Manager)
- How long did it take you to write this plugin, and
how
hard/frustrating/easy was it?
The SSO takes me about 2 weeks, the plugin was ready in about 3/4 work days.
- Any pitfalls you encountered?
When I developed the plugin i found the documentation very useful.
The core development instead was so hard. Anyway, the architecture of
xwiki code helps me a lot.
- What is your programming background/experience?
I'm a SysAdmin and a Programmer. My background is focused on Unix/Linux
systems where i learned to code bash scripts, C programsm, Java
programs, and perform system administration tasks.
This would help us understand how an external user
sees the XWiki code,
and maybe improve the not-so-easy to understand parts.
Thanks,
Thanks to you.
