[xwiki-devs] Feature Discussion: In the WYSIWYG editor, add a shortcut or a button to create a wiki link quickly.
by Zhaolin Feng 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

I'd like to suggest borrowing an idea from Gmail and HDWiki. Try http://www.hudong.com/editdocauth/%E9%A3%8E%E5%8A%9B%E5%8F%91%E7%94%B5 I've created a jira "idea" at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4660, with some screen-shots. In the current 2.0 editor, it's not convenient to create a wiki link (to an existing page or a non-existing page alike). I suggest the following UI flow: 1. Select some text. 2. Click a button "internal link". The selected text will become a wiki link to a page of the current space, no matter whether the page exists or not. 3. Move the input cursor over the text, a float window will appear beside it. On it, there are "open" "change", and "remove". Besides, there can be a shortcut, Ctrl + Q. Just like Ctrl + B or Ctrl + I. WDYT? -- -- Zhaolin Feng -- www.mapbar.com -- Currahee! We stand alone together!

[xwiki-devs] XWiki Components Vs Google - Guice
by Asiri Rathnayake 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi Devs, I've looked into Google Guice to find out what's the buzz is all about. But as far as I can understand (with only about 30 mins scan through their user guide), XWiki Component management framework is more flexible than Guice. I'm not a Guice user but being familiar with XWiki Components, the closest thing I found on Guice was JIT bindings: http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/wiki/JustInTimeBindings. With access to ComponentManager, XWiki Component management framework provides components the ability to lookup for component implementations dynamically using a component hint, I didn't see anything similar in Guice. Am I missing something? Are these two frameworks mutually exclusive or something? Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] Distribution with MySQL
by Thomas Mortagne 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi xwikiers, I just tough now that we are currently distribution XEM with MySQL included in it and that we maybe don't have right to do it actually. I'm not an expert so not sure what we should do but distribute GPL stuff in a package declared as LGPL is forbidden AFAIK. WDYT ? -- Thomas Mortagne
