source tar problem
by Alistair Young 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

I downloaded xwiki-0.9.840-src.tar and got the error: tar: A lone zero block at 98831 I used to get this when building tars from Ant - I don't think it breaks anything but it just looks bad. I take it xwiki isn't tarred up using gnu tar? Alistair

Hi, I don't know if all of you read Ludo's blog or XWiki's blog, so I send you the news. http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XWikDotComNowFreeForPublicAndPriva… XWiki is becoming totally free, but without support from XpertNet. The free hosting is community supported and we do not provide any official support for this platform. for support you should look into our hosting offers: http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Company/HostingOffering Jérémi -- Blog: http://www.jeremi.info LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1437724 http://www.xwiki.org skype: jeremi23 -- msn et gtalk : jeremi23(a)gmail.com

XWiki community
by jeremi joslin 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi, We want to change the way the community work. We want to create 2 groups: * One group of developer. A developer is a user who contributes to the project in the form of code or documentation. They take extra steps to participate in a project, are active on the developer mailing list, participate in discussions, provide patches, documentation, suggestions, and criticism. Developers are also known as contributors. (Definition from http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles) * One group of committer around XWiki. A committer is a developer that was given write access to the code repository. Not needing to depend on other people for the patches, they are actually making short-term decisions for the project. We also want to change the way to become committer on XWiki. Before becoming committer on XWiki, you have to "earn" the merit to be part of the development community. For those of you who are already committer on XWiki, you will keep this right if you want. You just have to send me a mail OFF LIST before the 9february to stay committer and tell me why you want to stay committer. We will write some rules to lead the project soon. what do you think about that? -- Blog: http://www.jeremi.info LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1437724 http://www.xwiki.org skype: jeremi23 -- msn et gtalk : jeremi23(a)gmail.com

bounty on XWiki?
by jeremi joslin 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hi everyone, What do you think about enabling anyone to suggest bounty on XWiki ? Example: I need a script for listing all the page in the wiki who contain the word "hate". I don't know how to do it. I'm ready to pay 50$ for this. We need to define some rule, but what do you think about this idea? For example, ubuntu: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/bounties/ Jérémi -- Blog: http://www.jeremi.info LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1437724 http://www.xwiki.org skype: jeremi23 -- msn et gtalk : jeremi23(a)gmail.com

Proposal: XWiki Maven2 migration
by Zhong ZHENG 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hi the XWiki Team, I found in the mailing list archives that you are planning to use maven to build xwiki. I am a committer to the apache pluto project, which uses maven2. Thus i got some experience on maven 2. (Mr. Vincent Massol must be a maven master, since he is on the maven team :) I would like to help you migrate to maven. I checked out the xwiki source from subversion, and am trying to re-organize the project layout and create pom.xml files. Currently i am still dealing with the dependencies. I would like to propose to separate the xwiki project into small subprojects, and decouple the APIs from the implementation (such as user api and different implementations, plugin api and different plugin implementations, etc.). That will make the source more clear and more readable. I don't know how to help on this topic. Re-organizing the project layout introduces too many modifications on the project, which may have a lot of impacts on the current development, and it's difficult to generate svndiff and create patches. I would like to know if it is possible to apply for joining the dev team and create a new branch in svn for the maven migration. I am taking a look at the JCR spec currently, since I created a java wiki engine project ( http://people.apache.org/~zheng/elsie/<http://people.apache.org/%7Ezheng/elsie/>) and am thinking of refactoring it using JCR and apache jackrabbit. I found that you are also planning to implement the xwiki repository using JCR. I would like to help and contribute to this subproject too. Best regards. -- ZHENG Zhong - http://heavyz.blogspot.com/ - http://people.apache.org/~zheng/ <http://people.apache.org/%7Ezheng/>

XWIKI-177 marked "Won't fix"
by Stephen Schaub 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

I noticed that XWIKI-177, an issue I reported, was recently marked "Won't fix". A comment was made to the effect that the current behavior isn't a bug. This issue affected my design of my "XWiki Aggregate Document PDF Generator" (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/AggregateDocs) I wanted to use the xwiki.getDocument() function to retrieve documents for inclusion in the generated PDF, but due to XWiki's current behavior, I had to resort to using HTTP downloads (a much slower and less robust approach). I guess I'm having a hard time understanding why the current behavior described in XWIKI-177 is the intended behavior. It really seems like a bug to me. Stephen
