[xwiki-devs] [XEM] Dependencies on XWiki platform for 1.0

[Thomas Mortagne]

Hi xwikiers,

Some of XEM actual beta features need XWiki platform modifications.
Problem is that XWIKI 1.1 is feature closed and 1.2 will be released
too later for the first XEM release.

I will comment theses feature here to see what can be done as reduce
features, overload platform feature in place of modify etc.

1 – Create wiki from template wiki with includes (in place of copy) on the fly :
  Jira issues with patch :
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1647
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1648
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1646

 - Can make just simple wiki copy and postpone the "include on the fly feature"
 - Can duplicate actual copy wiki process but code copy is always very dangerous

2 – SuperClass and SuperDocument java convenient java classes to
manage documents containing xwiki objects :
  Jira issues with patch :
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1685 : can use the
actual function with Class.getName()
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1576 : can be "hosted"
by muliwiki plugin for now

3 – XWikiServer user admin selection :
  Jira issues with patch :
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1666 : can replace user
list field by a simple string field

4 – Really delete wiki :
  Jira issues with patch :
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1672 : really delete the
database, we can just delete
 XWikiServer document and let a phantom database

5 – Easier error management in Velocity scripts :
  Jira issues with patch :
    - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1571 : can be "hosted"
by multiwiki plugin for now
