[xwiki-devs] [Investigation] XWiki Notifications
by Eduard Moraru 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi devs, A couple of days ago, Nicolas Lemoine (and Jean Coury, as far as I understood) from XWiki SAS did a nice analysis on what XWiki should offer in terms of notifications, from a more general and user-focused point of view. They had a look of how other applications, services or even operating systems handle user notifications and produced an interesting overview [1], extracted a list of use cases [2] and created an UI proposal [3] that might be useful when we start working on it for XWiki. They`ve asked me to send the mail for them on the community and maybe get some oppinions on the conclusions and even new ideas to where we could take it. WDYT? Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NotificationSystemforApps_A… [2] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NotificationSystemforApps#H… [3] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NotificationSystemforApps

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] New governance rule for xwiki.org: hosted XWiki options
by vincent＠massol.net 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hi devs, Our rule for what we allow on xwiki.org is documented at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance The spirit is that we want to keep xwiki.org an open source project but we also want that: - it’s used to the maximum - the max number of companies invest in committers to help develop the project Thus we’ve agreed to have several parts of xwiki.org when companies having active committers on the project can advertise for business solutions (professional support, etc). In order to try to increase downloads and to improve our download page Caty and I are working on proposing some new designs (she’s already posted some and will post some more soon). See http://markmail.org/message/6wgmvwxl6h6pvogr and http://markmail.org/message/ibur6fpkyx7sq7s2 As part of this effort and in order to make it even simpler to start using XWiki (and to list all options), we’d like to refactor a bit xwiki.org so that people who come on xwiki.org and who want to use XWiki/XE can be proposed 2 alternatives: 1) download an install XWiki on premises 2) use XWiki in the cloud or as a hosted solution For 2) the idea is to propose playground.xwiki.org to try xwiki, myxwiki.org (for non profit and non supported), and solutions from companies with active committers, such as XCS from XWiki SAS (in the order with the most committers listed first, as usual). Please cast your vote. Here’s my +1 Thanks -Vincent

Hi, I am Jinank Jain, currently a final year student at IIT Jodhpur. I am very much interested to work upon two projects: - GitLab-GitHub integration in XWiki WebIDE For this project I would like to know where I could find the existing code base so that I could look into that and get familiar with the codebase. - Android XWiki authenticator and contact synchronization: I found the codebase for this one but could some add some easy task/bugs to fix on issues list Thanks, Jinank Jain

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Synchronize the context wiki with the context document (1-way)
by Eduard Moraru 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hi devs, I`ve noticed that we have an issue in our context API that allows setting the context wiki and the context document independently, thus creating (by design) a desynchronization between the 2. The downside is that you can set the context document to something from a different wiki while the context wiki will not be updated and still report the old wiki. Any system/component that relies on the current context wiki will not behave as expected since it will work with the outdated wiki instead of using the newly set context document's wiki. Please see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13138 for more details, but what I am proposing here is to make the first step in that direction and ensure that at least the context wiki is updated when the context document is updated (what I call 1-way sync) to avoid problems. Here's my +1. Also, Thomas has already expressed his concerns that this might be a risky change to introduce in 7.4.x, so it will only be pushed on the 8.x (master) branch and for 7.4.x we`ll just set the context wiki in the right places to fix the translations issue. Thanks, Eduard P.S.: I will push this change in master ASAP and, should there be any -1, revert it.
