Hello,
I want to do some JIRA task as a part of my application for GSoC. I
encountered some doubts.
1. I asked questions in comments in 2 issues. Is it the proper way of
discussing them or should I ask about them on mailing list?
Links to those issues:
https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13496?filter=10534https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12704?filter=10534
2. When I do fixes on my local repository and I want to create Pull Request
I need to upload them to one of remote branches - typically branch created
specially for my fix, right? It seems that option of creation branches on
github is disabled for externals like me. How can I upload my fixes and
create PR, then?
3. I've searched dev guides and also names of created branches on github.
What's the convention for proper naming of bugfix or feature branches?
Examples that I found are following: "feature-XWIKI-12544",
"feature-alfresco-link" or simply id of ticket: "XWIKI-7553"
I know that I sit down to coding a bit late, but I hope I'll manage do
upload at least one Pull Request before deadline.
Best,
Krzysiek
P.S. I haven't encountered any Java project so far in which the code
convention was to put opening curl bracket '{' in new line :)
Hi devs,
Here’s a proposal for the coming 3 1-month roadmaps that I’ve discussed already with the devs from XWiki SAS.
@Other devs: if you want to contribute to these releases don’t hesitate to propose items that you wish to implement!
@Anyone: feel free to comment on this roadmap (things you like, don’t like, etc). I can’t assure that everything will be taken into account but they’ll be discussed and it’ll help shape the direction of the project :)

Hi,
I'm about to prepare a plan and timeline with milestones for the task "More
extension repositories ". The page with design details (
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManagerRepositories)
gives 10 examples of repositories to set an integration with, whilst the
description of task on XWiki GSoC information sub page refers only to 3:
Nexus , Bintray , Pypi (
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Moreextensionreposit…)
.
So the task for GSoC work includes integration with all those 10, or just
those 3? I need to know it to plan well the milestones.
Best,
Krzysztof
Hi,
On the IRC, I asked about the meaning of the term "Rendering
transformation". I went through the Rendering Framework doc and found that
'Rendering' is just a way to convert the DOM (Data Object Model: it
connects different programming languages) into a valid output which is
shown to the user.
Now in the project "Glossary Application" , the idea is to present a list
of definitions in the glossary app. I wanted to inquire if the definitions
of the 'technical terms'(words which a user while going through the x-wiki
page will find difficult to understand) of the x-wiki page is to be listed
in the glossary app? And when user clicks on that word then a new page
opens listing the definition of that term, feature etc?
Thanks :)
