[xwiki-devs] Curriki development how-to

[Paul Libbrecht]

hello developers,

I've been somewhat (but only somewhat) successfully building Curriki  
with mvn which, indeed, used the DB connection where I would install it.

I would like to understand a bit more of the architecture... should I  
rather discuss it per email or open a wiki page that tries to sketch  
it ?

Here's what I could see:

- curriki is made of many modules, some of which are xwiki modules,  
some are own
- some of the own resources are XWiki documents
- the whole packaging ends up by building a web-archive and an xwiki- 
archive
   (the xwiki archive seems to contain a lot of the xwiki documents)
- the build process seems to upload this web-archive to the DB  
(connected to a temporary curriki)

it's easy then to deploy the web-archive and use.

However the web-archive seems incomplete on the played.
A simple one to check is Main/Board.
I tried (re-)importing it but it complains that UselessPanel is not  
there.

Three questions:
- is all the above correct ?
- is there another way to upload single xwiki documents ?
- how are XWiki documents in source code edited ? (that's velocity in  
xml as far as I can see).

thanks in advance

paul
