[xwiki-devs] Translations for XWiki Enterprise 2.0
by Guillaume Lerouge 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi XWikiers, I know some of you regularly update translations for languages on http://l10n.xwiki.org/ . I've just refreshed the list of translations, which created a slew of new empty strings :-) It would be great if we could fill as much of them as possible before releasing XWiki Enterprise 2.0. I'll handle the French ones. You can find empty translations for your language on http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources Thanks in advance for your help, Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype: wikibc Twitter: glerouge http://guillaumelerouge.com/

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Rename xwiki-bridge in xwiki-model
by Vincent Massol 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi, Since we have some final classes (final in the sense with a good architecture) in xwiki-bridge I'd like to rename it into xwiki-model so that we can start this model module. Note: We'd still have a org.xwiki.model.bridge package for the time being in that xwiki-model module. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Vote] Make the colibri skin the default one in XE 2.0 RC1

I happen to agree about the fact that the page action buttons should be located in the content area of the page. Additionally, power users can also get accustomed to keyboard shortcuts and they're even better than the non-moving top bar: 1. fingers don't need to leave the keyboard -> faster 2. always available wherever you are on the page So this global discussion could go on for ages before we come to an ideal solution :-) We'll definitely keep working on improving XWiki's UI / UX in the coming releases (XE 2.1 is scheduled for the end of the year) and sharing the work with the community in order to assess all options and come to an optimal choice. Many corporate users are not familiar with wikis at all and we'll explore all the ways to make the UI / UX easier to understand and use for them. We'll be looking for your feedback during that time and the 2 mails you just wrote will definitely be useful. Now when it comes to releasing XWiki Enterprise 2.0 with or without colibri, I'm definitely in favor of using Colibri. As Vincent stated it, the new skin: - Doesn't have drawbacks toucan doesn't already have - the action bar is in the same location - all important items are in the same location -> no new UX issues (no regressions) - Brings a lot of improvements - scrolling issue fixed - ability to change colors and select a theme - panels no longer go up to the top of the page -> allows for more flexible layouts - new visual identity which is an important part of XWiki Enterprise 2.0 - the page title is displayed automatically (we get a lot of strong feedback from our corporate users on this and they will like it a lot - even though we need to fix the double title issue on a number of pages) So I don't see a compelling reason not to use it. You're right about the fact that it means splitting XWiki's renovation in 2 (new look today, new ergonomics tomorrow) but this isn't an issue by itself as long as we keep working on improving it in the future.
