[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Create a xwiki-attic github organization
by Thomas Mortagne 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

Hi devs, https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/ is starting to be crowded with archiving purpose repositories so it would be nice to move them somewhere else to have less noise. "attic" naming refer to https://attic.apache.org/ Here is my +1 -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Bundle Syntax Highlighting Extension in the Standard flavor
by Vincent Massol 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

Hi devs, I’d like to propose that we bundle the Syntax Highlighting Extension in the Standard flavor, starting with XWiki 9.7RC1. Rationale: * No impact for simple users (ie the default) * For advanced users, it makes editing pages using the wiki editor much nicer * It’s already a recommended extension on e.x.o and I’m willing to continue supporting it (and I’m sure Edy is interested in doing that too - Right Edy?) See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Syntax%20Highlighting%… for more details. TBH I don’t really understand why we haven’t bundled this a long time ago. Does anyone see any issue in bundling it? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC Update 4][Design] RedPen Integration
by deshengchuan 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Good day to all. First, a quick update on the current status of the redpen extension: It is now renamed as Content Checker, in consideration of implementing other document checking technology in the future. Also content checker's results are currently shown as logs, and the messages are split into warnings and errors. Also, during automatic validation of a document on save, if an error exists, the save is canceled. Next, I am in the middle of adding most of the available validators from redpen as a configurable setting. However there are validator settings that require a dictionary i.e. Invalid words, suggested words and expressions. To this end, I plan to reformat the application homepage, to add a select field before the user enters into the text input fields, indicating whether the entry for invalid words or for suggested words and expressions. Further, I have been looking for a way to extract the live table data within Java, but have been unable to. Is there a way to do it? Lastly, as the number of validation settings pile up, I plan to reformat the UI of the configurable class of my app to one that is tabbed, like the WYSIWYG configurable class in the administration wiki, to achieve a cleaner look. I would greatly appreciate any comments on the above implementation plans, thanks! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/GSOC-Update-4-Design-RedPen-Integration-t… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Increase QA team visibility
by Vincent Massol 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Hi, We’ve been having 3 persons in the community who help test XWiki every day and who report jira issues: Ilie, Gabriela and Manuel. Manuel has been doing this over 4 years now (close to 5 actually)! They’re important and they help XWiki get better every day and release over release. I think we should recognize them more in the project. I have 2 ideas: * Mention this role of QA engineer on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/HallOfFame and make it more “official" * Make them visible in the RN. Right now in the RN we mention everyone who contributed code. I think we could also mention everyone who created a JIRA issue that got fixed during that release. WDYT? Any other idea? Thanks -Vincent PS: I forgot if I already sent a mail on this topic or not (couldn’t find one but it vaguely rings a bell). Anyone remembers? :)

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] So which Standard flavor dependencies should be optional
by Thomas Mortagne 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

Hi everyone, I just implemented https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1229 which allows to indicate that a dependency will be installed by default but does not have a string dependency link with the extension, meaning that uninstalling it won't impact the backward dependencies (so they are not really backward dependencies in that case :)). Now we need to decide what exactly is optional in Standard flavor. Here are some ideas: * application-help-center * xwiki-platform-menu-ui * xwiki-platform-wiki-ui-mainwiki * xwiki-platform-office-ui * xwiki-platform-invitation-ui * xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui * xwiki-platform-linkchecker-ui * xwiki-platform-sandbox * xwiki-platform-sharepage-ui * xwiki-platform-distribution-flavor-tour * application-templates-ui I did not actually tried to uninstall those so it's possible it's not a good idea to uninstall some of them right now (hardcoded use somewhere maybe). WDYT ? -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Location of login/Register buttons
by Vincent Massol 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Hi devs, We’ve moved the register/login buttons inside the drawer. However one consequence is that users don’t notice it anymore. I’d like this thread to be a brainstorming about what we could do about it and whether you agree it’s an issue that we need to fix. Ideas? One idea could to reuse the Avatar image location to have some icon to register/login when not logged in. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Optional dependencies and Maven
by Thomas Mortagne 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Hi devs, So we now have the concept of optional dependencies at Extension Manager level. This are dependencies that are installed by default (but if they fail they don't fail the whole install) and which can be uninstalled without any impact on what is no longer it's backward dependency. On Maven -> EM side what I did is reuse <optional>true</optional> mostly the following reason: there is no way in pom.xml to put custom stuff in <dependency> so it would be a huge pain to maintain a list of optional dependencies from a property at general pom level. The issue is that the behavior of this <optional> is not exactly the same in EM and Maven: in Maven those dependencies are NOT triggered by default. Still, apart from this it's supposed to be the same meaning and it should not be an issue to install this dependency (if it is then it means you should have used something else like <scope>provided</scope>) but as usually since there is no official way in Maven to say "I just want to use that during the build and it does not make any sens to get this dependency" some projects may have used it that way. So do you think it is OK ? It's not acceptable and we absolutely need to move this kind of information in some general property in the pom <properties> ? -- Thomas Mortagne
