Re: [xwiki-devs] [curriki-devs] scripts for building (was Re: Curriki Upgrade to XWiki 1.5 Core)

by Ludovic Dubost

I'm crossposting to dev because it's interesting for xwiki developers We thought already of this for attached files. But indeed it would be good for scripts. So we could have an export option where the attached file, the wiki page content is separated from the XML to make it editable. To be able to do that for script files, we first need to have this meta field that tell us it's a script (and also that requires programmers rights for example).
