[xwiki-devs] Integration of the WebDAV plugin in the UI

Hi Devs, the xwiki ui. And in the process i will resurrect the foxwiki firefox extension as well. By integrating xwiki-webdav on the xwiki ui, we mean to provide the users the ability to open / edit / save various types of attachments with their favourite editor. For an example, we'll provide a "open with word" link next to a ".doc" attachment in the attachments section of the UI. When the user clicks on this link it will fire up word and let the user edit the content and save it back as he/she wishes. Currently this functionality is available natively on IE (phew) and there isn't much to be done on that. But for this to work on firefox we're going to have to resurrect the foxwiki extension. So the tentative workplan would be as bellow: * Make foxwiki work with firefox 3 - (Estimated : 2 days - Already started working on this) * Add the functionality to load the corresponding application (to edit the attachment) via foxwiki - (Estimated : 3 days ?) * Provide a common javascript API (javascript.vm ?) that can be used to launch an application from pages - (Estimated : ?) * Modify attachments.vm to automatically include the links for editing attachments. These are the goals I currently have in my mind and i'm still bit shaky about some topics myself. If any of you have sugesstions / comments / thoughts please let me know. Thanks. - Asiri
