The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 11.2.
This release brings a warning to the users when they are editing a page and other users are saving the same content. The Object editor has a new way of presenting XClasses meant to increase the user experience, while the top level application pages are not displayed anymore in the Navigation Panel. In addition the performance of the Notifications feature has been improved.

Hi devs,
I've started to analyze the 971 tests failing on webstandards related to
the WCAG validation.
I plan to create issues in order for us to fix the errors. The problem I
have is that we were validating against the Dutch Guidelines validation
tool (previously http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/testing) but this
tool has been discontinued by the Dutch Ministry in July 2017, see
https://www.digitoegankelijk.nl/onderwerpen/testen/nieuws/2017/04/25/gewoon…
The difference between the W3C WCAG rules (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/) and
the Dutch Guidelines was that the latest were more strict. Also WCAG
specification advanced to version 2.1 in Jun 2018.
Since I don't have much experience in the way we've implemented the
validator, I'm asking if anyone has any idea of another validator we could
replace this one with (in case we want this). Else, I will try to
investigate and find a replacement for a new reference validator.
Currently the plan is to fix our code to match the current definitions and
in cases that are not covered by W3C WCAG and where we want to add
"exceptions" I test also online on:
* https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/accessibility-checker/ and
* http://wave.webaim.org/
Let me know if you have any objections to the 2 tools mentioned above.
I've started the investigation at:
https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/WCAG10x
we can discuss each error and "exception" on the individual issues.
Thanks,
Caty

Hi Devs,
I'm curious what you think about this direction for the Download / Install
page on xwiki.org:
Iteration 1
https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Install/LDJEasierInstallationFl…
Changes:
* Download renamed to Install
* Form at the beginning to select the version, OS, type and package
* Depending on the user selection, there is an option to Download the
package, or you just get Installation steps (personalized for each option
selected).
I've iterated currently just for the ZIP package (for Demo+Mac), but
imagine something similar for all the other packages.
What do you think? Should I continue in this direction?
Thanks,
Caty
Dear XWiki developers,
I and my friends learn Computer Science at the University Of Szeged.
One of our obligatory task in this semester to participate in an open
source project.
We decide to choose a project so our team wouldn't be randomized and we
don't have to risk that we'll be put together with students who too lazy to
work.
I've found XWiki and seen that this would be an excellent choice since it's
well known and has some history behind itself and the project itself is
really interesting too.
We've read the different guides about how to participate, registrated to
jira, github, devmails...
Our problem is that we couldn't find an issue / work item with the
following criterias:
- no one's working on it || not assigned
( - it's beginner friendly, not have to know *everything *from A to B about
the project code )
Each of us have to take an issued or if there is 2-3 issue big enough, then
on each of the issues 2-3 members of our team would work on.
We have to showcase the first milestone next week, until then we should get
to known to the project and get issues / task.
We would be grateful if you could help us!
Thanking you in advance...
Sorry for the language mistakes.
I'm writing this letter down in Hungarian as well, just in case:
Kedves XWiki fejlesztők,
Én és a barátaim Programtervező Informatikára járunk a Szegedi
Tudományegyetemen.
Ebben a félévben az egyik kötelező feladatunk részt venni egy nyílt
forráskódú projekt fejlesztésében.
Úgy döntöttünk, hogy mi választjuk a projektet, mivel így a csapatunk nem
véletlenszerű lesz kiválasztva és nem fogunk olyanokkal összekerülni, akik
nem akarnak dolgozni.
Rátaláltam az XWiki-re és tökéletes választásnak találtam, mivel ismert,
van háttere és maga a projekt is nagyon érdekes.
Elolvastuk a különböző leírásokat és regisztráltunk githubra, jirara,
fejlesztői e-mailekre.
Az a problémánk, hogy nem találtunk issuet / feladatot az alábbi feltételek
mellett:
- senki sem dolgozik rajta || senkin sincs még rajta
( - kezdőknek is jó, nem kell *mindent* tudni hozzá a projekt
forráskódjáról )
Mindannyiunknak kell felvennie egy issuet vagy ha van 2-3 nagyobb issue,
akkor mindegyiken a csapatból 2-3 ember is dolgozhatna.
Az első mérföldkövet jövő héten kell bemutatnunk, addig meg kell ismernünk
a projektet és szereznünk kell feladatot is.
Hálásak lennénk, ha tudnátok segíteni!
Előre is köszönöm...
You should not try to directly send mails to the mentors and instead
communicate using general communication channels in which mentors will
answer you.
The best to to start start by reading

Hi devs,
I wanted to keep up to date on the list of stuff that we still need to do in the domain of Docker, CI & Clover, specifically on the domains I’ve been working on. All the items below are items I need to work on (but any help is welcome of course).
1) Clover pipeline job to modify to add docker-based functional tests: right now the global TPC is going to decrease because of MenuIT and MailIT. This needs to be fixed ASAP before we convert too many tests.
2) Also fix Clover pipeline job in general which hasn’t passed since the 22nd of October
3) Execute Docker-based tests in main pipeline job for the default config as otherwise we might have the platform job succeeding but it’ll miss several functional tests! Option 1: execute Browser outside of docker as option, Option 2: add more docker-based agents. For the moment, we might be able to run the docker tests on agent4.
4) Screenshot attachment on UI test failures to fix in pipeline job
5) Flicker recognition on tests to fix in pipeline job
6) Fix the ClosedChannelExcption/InterruptedException in our CI
7) Research running Jenkins agents in docker images and make our Docker test work (docker on docker). Once this works, set up 2 or 2 agents on a4. And then move all other agents to this.
8) Still need to apply the Clover strategy we agreed on (global TPC needs to not go down during releases).
9) Find strategy to move Docker image creation in platform build
Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: I didn’t list fixing tests (such and flicker fixing or WCAG test fixing) since this not infra and I wanted to limit this list to infra.
Hello everyone, I am Mua Laurent a final year student at the University of
Buea Cameroon. I joined open source last year and i am completely in love
with it my way of giving back to the community. I will love to contribute
