Hi devs, I need you opinion on http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-6546 . I know Caty made this proposal http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/MultiExportProposal which includes PDF export options but I'm afraid it won't be implemented really soon. Thibaut Camberlin gave me a pdfexportoptions velocity template that I can easily integrate in the platform and which could prove very useful until we have the multi page export proposal implemented. WDYT? Thanks, Marius

[xwiki-devs] XWiki tags specification

by Marius Dumitru Florea

Hi devs, Do we have a specification for what a tag is inside XWiki? On http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Tag+Application tags are defined as keywords but no constraints are specified. I'd like to enforce this two constraints on tags: * tags can't have leading and trailing white space characters * tags' case is saved but case is ignored when comparing two tags (once you defined a tag "news" you can't define a new tag "News"; the existing tag is reused; tag's case is used only for display) Optionally, we could enforce that tags can't contain white spaces. WDYT? If no one is against it then I'd like to change the UI to apply these constraints. Thanks, Marius

[xwiki-devs] AppWithinMinutes needed core change: the sheet system

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi, I've started working on the AppWithinMinutes feature. The objective is to start with the XWiki core changes so that we have them in the 3.1 development period so that we are able to work on UI in the 3.2 timeframe. The first change is with the sheet system. We have talked quite a few times of how the edit/inline mode does not really make sense and how using "include" to customize the display of a page is not the right way to handle this. What I'm proposing in the following document is a "View" system which has XWiki resolve the sheets to be used to customize the display. http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ApplicationWithinMinutesCoreChan… I've tried to keep it simple but at the same time allow for future extension. There are more things than just view/edit that we might one to customize when having a page of a specific type. We should discuss the proposed features so that we all agree to that implementation. We will also need a developer for these changes (Sergiu ?) Ludovic PS: another page and email will come for the "Create" part of AppWithinMinutes -- Ludovic Dubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Remove xwiki-debug-eclipse git repository + rules for git repositories

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, I see you've added a new git repo called xwiki-debug-eclipse. I don't quite agree with it. I'd like to propose to move it as a tool (since that's what it is - it's a build/debug tool) inside xwiki-enterprise/ (https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise) I'd also like to propose that: 1) we always vote when creating git repositories 2) we agree that as a rule git repositories should match top level xwiki projects (as we used to have for svn). I don't see a need for more git repositories. If you see valid use cases other than when creating top level projects please let me know here. I propose this rule to be the default but of course it could be violated (with a vote mail, see 1)) if we find a valid use case. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Move XAR plugin/handler modules to xwiki commons

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I'd like to propose moving the XAR plugin tool module and the XAR handler tool module to xwiki-commons/xwiki-commons-tools/ Rationale: * There's an issue with Maven3 which doesn't seem to allow building an extension in the same reactor build as the modules using it. For more information see: - http://markmail.org/message/7kyykjwtjgh5wsad - http://markmail.org/message/irohugijgrzrvhz3 - http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1911 * We could rationalize this move by considering the XAR format as a new zip format, independent of xwiki-platform We could always move it back to xwiki-platform in the future if Maven 3.1 supports building extensions module in situ in the future. Here's my +1 (I'm also volunteering to perform the move). Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] AppWithinMinutes Create Process

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi, Here is the second email promised about the creation process. The main issue is to allow to create without already having a page name and to have automated page naming based on the user provided data and rules associated to the creation. http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ApplicationWithinMinutesPageCrea… This is an important part of the user experience and something we have found to be not natural when developping applications.

[xwiki-devs] about Gsoc project proposal: XEclipse “RESTification”

by Jun Han

Dear all, I have submitted the proposal (XEclipse “RESTification”) before student application deadline (April 8th), However, until today, I do not get any comments on this proposal. Clearly it will not be the case that the proposal is so well written that no comments are needed. In fact, I am worrying about the opposite side: the proposal has fundamental issues and mentors do not want to comment about it. If that is the case, I would like some one may point out the problems and I will try to refine the proposal as soon as possible. Best regards Jun Han

[xwiki-devs] [Investigation] [UX] XEM Homepage

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi, I want to know if there are any thoughts about the current Homepage of a standard XWiki Enterprise Manager. - What do you think of the current functionality? - What do you think worths keeping or should be removed? - What other functionality would you think would help the experience? Thanks, Caty P.S. A similar thread exists also for XE Homepage
