[xwiki-devs] Integrating the workspaces feature into XE/XEM

Hi devs, As part for the 3.2 Roadmap, the plan for the workspaces feature was to add some hooks into the platform that could accept a workspaces extension if an admin decided to install it. Without adding these hooks, there currently isn`t any mechanism (like Interface Extensions, but not limited to that) that allows a simple application to modify whatever it wishes (like user profile sections, administration sections, top menu, etc.) so I went ahead and added some code into the platform that executes only when the workspaces extension (wiki pages and component/service) is installed. I`ve created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6991 with some details about what I have done and made a pull request at https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/24 since I did not want to rush at applying the changes without running them by you guys. I`ve broken the issue down to subtasks with separate commits to make the review easier. There currently is a demo server for the workspaces feature at http://wiki30-demo.xwiki.com but I will have to update it tomorrow with the latest version. Not much changed, you can see the visible changes in the specific jira subtasks (screenshots). The goal would be for this to make it into 3.2 so that people could then install (the soon to be released) workspaces extension and try it out. Please take some time, if possible, to look over the proposed changes and spot any problems. Thanks, Eduard
