Hi everyone,
I'm happy to announce the release of the first version of Application
Migrator. This app aims to help you (extension developers) to create
migrations between your extension versions at wiki level, through XObjects.
It features an extensible framework that allows you to define new
migrators and thus perform every kind of migration that you'll like in
addition to the ones provided by default.
If you are interested by this extensions, I suggest that you check out
[1] for documentation and [2] if you want to start building your own
migrations.
Thanks,
Clément

Hi devs,
Misses from the 10.8 roadmap:
* Macro inline editing in WYSIWYG - Design done but no implementation done. Lack of time.
* Continue work on performance - Thomas started but didn’t commit anything (lack of time/focus, help others, TFD, etc)
* Auto complete of references in WYSIWYG Macro Dialog - Adel researched it but no work committed. Lack of time. Adel worked on fixing some issues discovered in the reference auto complete code already committed.
* Investigate how we could make the upgrade experience simpler. Just starting now. Lack of time.
We’ll put the misses in 10.9, see below.
Proposal for XWiki 10.9:
* Thomas/Vincent: Improve STAMP KPIs (20%) - 1 day per week
* All: BFD (20%)
* Thomas: continue work on performance (started in 10.4). Goal: go back to XWiki 8.x performance! Hint: https://t.co/0ZckyVYg6c ;)
* Simon/Marius (moved from 10.8 roadmap): Macro inline editing in WYSIWYG
* Adel/Marius (moved from 10.8 roadmap): Auto complete of references in WYSIWYG Macro Dialog (+ grouping feature so that users don't get both "page" and "reference" at the same time + "deprecated"/"priority" to show "page" more proemintenly than "reference")
* Simon: Page Move/Renaming: don't allow and/or warn when moving pages containing xclass definitions. Use case: prevent users from breaking AWM apps they created
* Guillaume: Remove AS whenever it's used and replaced it with the new Notifications macro
Best effort: If we have time (otherwise candidates for 10.10+):
* Marius/Adel/Simon: Display Reference of documents to copy paste
* Marius/Adel/Simon: Improve the XClass picker when in object edit mode (make it like the Add Macro dialog for WYSIWYG editor)
* Thomas: work on some items to make the upgrade experience simpler + unattended upgrades (ability to upgrade XWiki from the command line without interaction). Use the result of Caty's investigation from XWiki 10.8 period.
Dates:
* 10.9RC1: 22 October (made it 4 weeks instead of the usual 3 since we have some margin). This should give us more time to work on the different topics
* 10.9Final: 29 October
WDYT?
I’ll create the roadmap page on xwiki.org a bit later today and you’ll be able to edit it and add the jira issues for each topic.
Thanks

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki
10.8-rc-1.
In this version we have added a new tab in the user profile that displays
the groups a user is part of. We've added auto-suggest for pages in several
places and improved the startup speed on Tomcat. We've also replaced our
CAPTCHA implementation with a new one and it's now very easy to change and
preview, from Administration, the CAPTCHA type that it will be used in your
wiki.
You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download

Hi devs,
Regarding Recommended extensions on e.x.o.
What we don’t FTM is strategy for:
* A) When do we review the list of recommended and move some out when they’re no longer matching the recommended criteria
* B) When do we review the list of not recommended and propose to move some to recommended
I guess for A) it could be when someone (community, committers) discovers some important problems on the extension or if committers just notice it by chance. In the future we could imagine having a “Unrecommend” button in the UI to allow users to provide feedback as to why an extension should be unrecommended.
For B) it could the extension author proposing an extension to be recommended (or committers noticing a good supported extension and asking the author(s) if they’re willing to comply with the recommended rules). In the future we could imagine having a “Recommend” button in the UI to allow users to provide feedback as to why an extension should be recommended.
WDYT? Any better or others ideas?
Thanks

Hi all,
FYI, we are trying to set-up an XWiki meetup next October in the SF bay
area ; see the post below (from [1]):
>From October 15th to October 19th, Anca, Ludovic and I will be present
in the San Francisco area after the 2018 edition of the GSoC Mentor Summit.
At this occasion, we would like organize a meetup with any XWiki user or
contributor living in this area to have a beer and discuss about the
project itself, but also about other projects that we are working on,
such as Cryptpad.
We are currently searching for people interested in this event and a
place to organize it, thus, if you live in the SF bay, please don’t
hesitate to ping us in [1] so that we can set-up something more concrete
in the coming days!
