[xwiki-devs] Roadmap for Platform/XE 1.3 release
by Vincent Massol 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi, Here are some general directions that Sergiu and I are proposing for the XE 1.3 roadmap. 3 domains: 1) Work on automated testing. Examples: - add more selenium tests - start evaluating using VMs for setting up different test environments (Oracle + IE, XEM + MySQL, etc) 2) Clean up Examples: - Extract skins into separate modules - Factor skin templates all in one place - Make it easy for someone to create a new skin - Code cleanup for more Javadoc in APIs 3) Improved performances Examples: - Run XE with a profiler and find bottlenecks - Reduce number of HTTP requests done by the browser (about 50 right now) - Reduce number of database calls NOTE: In addition to this Sergiu is proposing to work on the Interface Extensions design and I'm going to work on the new rendering engine. These are not planned in the 1.3 roadmap. They'll be done on branches and only integrated when ready. So this means that 1.3 will be mostly a "cleanup" release with no or little new features but more bug fixes and cleaning things. In term of dates here's the proposal: 25 Jan: 1.3 M1 15 Feb: 1.3M2 29 Feb: 1.3 RC1 14 Mar: 1.3 Final Let me know what you think. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Right management (new user and edit right)
by antoine SEILLES 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Maybe this is not the right mailing list to ask my question. I had like to know: " how to prevent new users to get edit right?" I mean, by default, if somebody registers, he has the right to edit pages and admin has to deny this right if he wants this user to not have this right. My intention is to have the contrary situation. I wish i could register and not have the right to edit while admin has not allow this right to me. Thank for your time. -- Antoine SEILLES Doctorant (phd student) Pikko software Cap Omega - Rond Point Benjamin Franklin CS 39521 34960 Montpellier Cedex 2 FRANCE LIRMM CNRS UMR 5506 - 161 rue Ada 34392 Montpellier Cedex 5 FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)6 10 192 055 http://www.pikko-software.com http://www.lirmm.fr

Re: [xwiki-devs] help for building
by Paul Libbrecht 08 Jan '08

thanks Cristian, had forgotten about profiles (which also seem to be about applications...). In any case... now I see my mvn build throws a lot of exceptions (not fatal errors) because it could not connect to the DB which, indeed, I had not configured. Is that needed or ignoreable ? And if yes, where ? (ideally somewhere in ~/build.properties or so?). Should that DB be the "production DB" (I guess not!). Just a build-scratch? Something in the middle? thanks again paul Le 2 janv. 08 à 01:07, Cristian Vrabie a écrit : > Try using maven profiles: run "mvn clean install -Pmysql" in the > root folder (xwiki-product-curriki).

[xwiki-devs] XWiki changes on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building
by Vincent Massol 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi Paul, Thanks for updating http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building . However I've had to roll it back because you've used the wysiwyg editor and as a condequence all <tt></tt> markup has been stripped from the whole page. This is a very annoying and known bug. Sorry about that. We really need to fix it. If someone has the time to give it a try that would be great. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Whitespace in tags?
by Dowson_Jim＠emc.com 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

I am having trouble with whitespace handling in tags (1.1.2 & 1.2RC2 on Windows 2003 and Windows XP locally - and even on xwiki.org itself). tag1|tag2|word3 word4 becomes tag1|tag2|word3|word4 and tag1|tag2|tag 3|tag 4 becomes tag1|tag2|tag|3|tag|4 I would consider this a bug - am I wrong? [I used the object properties in the object editor and the tag dialog box in page wiki edit mode with the same result]

[xwiki-devs] License question
by justanotheradress 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hi all I'm totally confused. :-( If I use XWIKI, which is published under LGPL, am I allowed to write a module/plugin and not publish it or do I have to publish it under LGPL too? Thanks for any clarification Simon PS: I know this is a standard question, but seriously I did not found an easy, understandable, concise and without long follow-ups about whether the interpretation is right or not, answer to this in hours of searching. Is it me or is (L)GPL one of the most complicated license nowadays? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/License-question-tp14607397p14607397.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
