[xwiki-devs] To Antivandalism project GSOC candidates
by Ludovic Dubost 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, We have quite a few anti vandalism projects proposals. I would suggest to the candidates that have proposed an anti vandalism project to also propose a second XWiki project that they would be interested in pursuing. This could help us not having a tough choice between good candidates. Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost

[xwiki-devs] Integrating office importer document splitting functionality into main source tree
by Asiri Rathnayake 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello Devs, I have been working on implementing document splitting functionality in office importer for last two weeks. Currently it's working nicely but before it can be integrated into our main source tree there are few things we need to agree upon. 1. New UI of the office importer application. 2. Design of the splitting functionality. Apart from above two topics, I need a good suit of tests as well (working on it). == Current UI == Screenshot: http://i41.tinypic.com/2h4i1s9.jpg As you can see, there are new options for appending content into an existing page plus performing the split operation. Since I'm not a HCI expert I'm pretty sure some of the aspects of this UI need to be changed. So your feed back is very important on this :) == Current Design == UML Diagram: http://i42.tinypic.com/345bxhw.png There are two things I need to discuss with this design. 1) I'm using WikiDocument objects to buffer / collect XDOM fragments that represent newly split documents. This allows me to associate names, parents, titles etc. with corresponding XDOM structures so that after the split operation I can save them as wiki pages. As you can see, WikiDocument is kind of a model object that should be replaced when the new model component is available. Still, I'm not sure if the idea of WikiDocument should be avoided even at this point. 2) DocumentSplitter is not a component interface. I had to do this because HeadingLevelDocumentSplitter has internal state and I couldn't think of a way to make it a component. However I can make it a component by abstracting out the split criterion from the document splitter as described in next (alternative) design. == Alternative Design == UML Diagram: http://i39.tinypic.com/28k24w4.png Here I have abstracted out the split criterion from the document splitter. The DefaultDocumentSplitter will recurse through the main XDOM asking SplitCriterion and NamingCriterion to take care of the splitting operation. I think this design is more reusable than the first design. WDYT? If you have any comments regarding these topics, please let me know. Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] [Gsoc - 2009] Skin and template support for XOffice
by Teofil Achirei 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hello all! My name is Teofil Achirei, I am a student at Technical University of Iasi, Faculty of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering. I have 2 years of experience as java web developer and I'm a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist .NET Framework Foundation. I'm passionate about web development, web mining and applications integration. You can find out more about me on my web crawling weblog: http://teofilachirei.wordpress.com/ I would like to participate to GSoC 2009 on the project "Skin and template support for XOffice". I find XWord as a very useful add-in and I would like to improve its functionality. Currently what XWord misses most is skin and template integration and that's what this project is about. I've created a wiki on myxwiki.org (http://teofilachirei.myxwiki.org) and I'll soon add pages and mockups for this project. I've submitted my proposal on GSoC website. Please let me know if it needs further improvements. Thanks. -- Teofil Achirei

Re: [xwiki-devs] [GSoC 2009] Additional information for JSR-168 proposal
by Karel Piwko 01 Apr '09

Hello Guillaume, thanks for your response. I already started studying reference porlets and XWiki internal architecture, currently I'm creating work proposal and time schedule how to reach use case you described to me. As time is ticking (deadline on Friday), who should I send application form to? I suggest that the best way is to send it into this forum so everybody can discuss it. Karel
