Allow me a process comment: I think that

yet another representation project, it would be the fifth project.
Sure but that’s my right! Why would you be allowed to do that (and even complained when I
told you that one option for you would have been to continue the existing XFF work!) and
not me? :) lol
Now what you say is not true either. I’m not starting from scratch (contrary to you - I
don’t remember seeing a mail from you explaining why the existing solutions did not work
for you and with precise details and why you’ve started a new project based on xinclude).
I’ve taken xwikifs and tried to build on it.
I’ve taken the time (did you?) to:
- analyze all the solution I’ve found (see my other mails)
- mention the limitation and problems of each (see my other mails)
TBH I’m quite disappointed for your lack of consideration. You started a mail thread and I
spent a lot of hours yesterday (and a lot of off work hours too) to catch up on the topic…
We just have a different approach. Your approach is NIH (and FTR I’m not against NIH). My
approach is to analyze all the work that was already done and see their limitations and
what more we’d need.
Now as I mentioned already (did you take the time to read the mails I sent yesterday? :))
I don’t see your solution as a competitor to the other projects. So don’t worry. BTW would
be nice if you could answer the proposals I’ve made to try to fix your solution which
doesn’t work well enough ATM for round-tripping (basic need of the xwiki dev team).
Here,
we want to find something more conclusive, or?
“we”: I don’t know. I speak only for myself.
I find it more important that people express their:
- experience
- expectations
- disappointments
...of the current representations of XWiki content and code stores.
So you clearly haven’t read the mails I sent yesterday because this is exactly what I’ve
done…
Now nothing is exclusive. We do need a common agreed FS representation anyway for the
future. It doesn’t prevent people from expressing their opinions on the 3 points you
mention above.
Thanks
