[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Strategy for handling translations
by Vincent Massol 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hi devs, We need to define a strategy for better handling translations. I've had a call with Guillaume and Jean-Vincent and here's the process we'd like to propose: * One person is in charge of http://l10n.xwiki.org/. This means monitoring the work there, coordinating validation of key values and ensuring validated translations are incorporated in the source tree. Guillaume is willing to take that role for now. * The XE release manager has the responsibility of taking the validated keys on l10n.xwiki.org and committing them during the Milestone 2 dev (before the RC1). * The l10n manager should ping the release manager whenever there are translated and validated keys ready to be incorporated or if there have been important changes to be included in the release after M2 has been released. * The l10n manager should test XE and the applications after the keys have been applied to ensure quality. Basically the l10n manager is responsible for the quality of translations in general. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki "2.0" Syntax
by Vincent Massol 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, Since I'm rewriting the new Rendering component (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewRenderingArchitecture) , we need to finalize the new syntax we want to have. Right now I'v planned to use the same wiki syntax as now (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ XWikiSyntax#HTextStyles) with only one change: all macros now need to be closed. For example: {macro}...{/macro} and {macro:text|param=value|.../} Is that ok with everyone or do we want to make changes? Thanks -Vincent

Hi Sergiu, Are you sure about this below? What's your use case? I find it strange to order by class name for an execution order.

[xwiki-devs] attachment's mime-types
by Paul Libbrecht 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

Hello XWiki developers, can someone explain me what is the strategy to define the mime-type of an attachment? I see not configurable map nor any setter on the attachment types. Is there any way I can enrich this or is it simply taking over the mime-type provided the browser (which, too often, ends up being application/octet-stream) ? thanks in advance paul

[xwiki-devs] Support for Google Gadgets in pages in panels
by Ludovic Dubost 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi devs, I've implemented support for Google Gadgets for pages and for panels. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Gadgets/ It is possible to browse the Google Gadget Directory and select a gadget, set it's parameters and either: - insert a call to a gadget macro in a wiki page - create a panel with this gadget It's basically working, except for a few Gadget translations issues in the gadget settings page (for some gadgets). To integrate in XE this requires: - a slight modification to the PanelClass and the displaypanel macro (to support a gadgeturl and gadgetprefs field) - a few pages including a Gadget Groovy page (which requires programming rights) I think we should transform the Gadget Groovy to a plugin to avoid the need for programming rights. We can also from there create a special page type to make a display of gadgets or panels like iGoogle or NetVibes. It would store gadgets or panel lists in a special class with some position parameters. And with some JS we can reposition the panels or gadgets and save the config in the wiki page. This would be an easy way to make some portal like experience in the wiki. Who wants to takeover this from the dev team ? Do you think we can have this in 1.8 ?

[xwiki-devs] Photo Album API
by Edo Beutler 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi devs, we are working with XWiki for about three years now (I think we started using it around version 0.8). In this time we developed several plugins, which we always planed to make open source to give something back to the community. However, until now we never found the time to do it. Now we saw in your GSoC proposals the project for a new photo album application. We thought this would be a good moment to contribute our photo plugin (or parts of it). Short list of features: - unzip an attached file and attach the contained files to a document (i.e. the photo album) - resize images to a maximum width and height maintaining the aspect ratio (if you like already while unzipping) - only jpg until now. When we wrote it, the XWiki image plugin stretched the images when width and height were defined. - read meta data from images (using http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/ - sadly it seems the library is not updated anymore) The plugin would be the Java part only and not directly affect the GSoC project, since it seems to focus mostly on a new front end, but we think the plugin could add some features to it. (Maybe I could create a small example page if you are interested) I hope to hear from you wether you are interested and if so, what parts you are interested in. Also don't hesitate to ask if you have questions or need further information. Edo

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] switching to UTF8 by default in 1.9M2
by Sergiu Dumitriu 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi devs, We've been tackling this proposal for some time, but we never took a final decision on it. So, I propose that we do this switch as soon as possible. Changes: - default encoding UTF-8 in the start_xwiki* scripts, xwiki.cfg and web.xml - remove the LANG= environment variable from the start script, since it's not needed - add the encoding configuration for the mysql jdbc connection URL (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-j-reference-charsets.html) Implications: - hsqldb instances will continue to work fine - for mysql and other DB instances, either the DB will need to be changed to work with the new encoding, or the wiki will have to be changed back to 8859-1. If we append characterEncoding=UTF-8 to the connection URL, then the storage will throw exceptions when trying to store an incompatible character, thus admins will quickly notice the problem and solve the issue, before users report loosing characters after a while (since without this setting the characters are silently transformed to '?' and this won't be noticed until the cache expires). We need to highlight this change in the release notes and upgrade instructions. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
