Hi Devs,
I have almost completed my work on officepreview module and I would like to
discuss about integrating it into main source tree (and release it with
2.4M1). There are a couple of things to discuss:
1. officepreview module have to depend on xwiki-core for the time being
because with current component approach there is no way of determining the
version of an attachment (officepreview module needs to know attachment
version).
2. Need a couple of tests - I'm working on this.
3. Where to place the officepreview module in main source tree.
My initial idea for (3) was to create a
/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-officepreview submodule. However, since
officepreview module depends on officeimporter module, I'm not sure if we
should create a parent module that would host both of these projects.
Another problem lingering in my mind is that with recent changes
xwiki-officeimporter module encapsulates two sub modules - a module capable
of converting documents from one format to another (this is a generic
converter api kind of thing) and another module which is importing office
documents into xwiki specific formats (XDOMOfficeDocumentBuilder,
PresentationBuilder etc.). I'm not sure if these two modules should be
seperated out, but may be that's a separate discussion.
Please let me know your comments about above points.
Thanks.
