[xwiki-devs] Survey Personas 2017

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi devs, I've analyzed the 31 responses we got on the XWiki Feedback form in 2017. The purpose was to know our users better and to try to define some personas. http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/SurveyPersona It would be nice to have more data to analyze or to know which users we want to target / focus on when deciding what to prioritize for development. Let me know if you find the findings interesting and if they match your hypothesis. The pool is not that big and is relative. Thanks, Caty P.S. We also have some older stats on these responses that can be used for comparison on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XEFeedbackSummary

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] e.x.o improvements: grid, icons, colors

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi devs, Here are some ideas about how the repository application used on extensions.xwiki.org could look like if we were to provide multiple display layouts for extensions, require the contributors to add custom icons, colors and screenshots. http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/exoGrid In terms of design I tried to make it look as a proper application store, but it will be heavily influenced on users providing ratings for extensions and contributors on providing quality icons / colors/ description / screenshots. In terms of interaction, the biggest change would be a revamp of the search functionality. Currently users are using it, but it's a generic search, focused on text results. Let me know what you think, Caty P.S. Proposal ideas iterated with Marius, Alex and Eduard.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Invest in a new translation service

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, We started discussing this yesterday on the xwiki chat. Here’s the rationale for changing: * l10n is slow and is preventing users to contribute translations (it’s much harder than it should be) * it’s costing us maintenance that we shouldn’t have to do (it’s not our role to maintain a translation service, even though it was nice to eat our own dog food initially). I see this very similar to when we switched from our GWT-based WYSIWYG editor to CKEditor. * It’ll allow us to benefit from new features/bug fixes the external service develops * Right now it’s taking an hour or more every time we release to integrate the translation changes and this slows us down to increase our release delivery speed * We’re putting the onus on the RM only to validate that the proposed translations are good. So only 1 pair of eyes. * We have no time to fix any translation if they’re not correct. A system where when someone proposes a new translation generates a PR that we apply as they come in would be much better and solve both the review and lateness issues. Of course it’ll mean some plugins/customizations to develop in the service we will use since it’s not going to support some custom formats we have such as our XAR XML format. So we need to pick a tool that allows for this. The proposal: * Start investing in implementing XWiki translation using an external tool. * Start by looking at weblate: https://weblate.org/en/ since ** it seems to offer lots of features we need (automatic PR - see https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/vcs.html#github, quality checks, plugins). See https://weblate.org/en/features/ ** it’s open source itself and in case the service goes down we can ask XWiki SAS to host it for us (see https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate). ** We need to ask them if they can host us, see https://weblate.org/en/hosting/ and the part about "Hosting for free software”. ** We could also ask XWiki SAS if they’d accept paying a “Basic” plan (200 euros/year which is affordable IMO vs hosting it ourselves) ** There’s a REST API so that if we want we can provide a view/status of the translations from xwiki.org: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/api.html . We could even imagine using this API to convert from a format to our own format, if need be. * Propose to have a developer work on this in an upcoming roadmap (to be defined but as early as possible since l10n is not in good shape) * Fix l10n as much as we can without spending too much time on it, until we have the new translation service ready to be used Things to look at: * Ability to register custom formats or more generally how to handle our custom format * How do we handle deprecated translations keys * How do we handle global rename/move of keys from one resource file to another * <add more here> WDYT? I’d like to have especially Thomas’s POV since he’s the one who spent the most time on l10n and I’d like to make sure he’s ok with this. Thanks -Vincent
