XWiki task organisation
by jeremi joslin 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi, I will try to do my best to help Ludovic to lead the project because he is very busy. I've started to review Jira tasks to find what we need to fix before the release. 1. I propose to split in Jira the XWiki project in 2 or 3 projects: * XWiki core (which is written in java) and the minimum UI (When you run XWiki with a blank DB) * XWiki plugins (also written in java, for exemple: feed plugin, mail plugin ...) * XWiki applications (in script language like groovy or velocity, for example: blog, photo album, wysiwyg...) the last too can be one because some applications can have a plugin like the feed plugin which have also an application. Like this, we can release the core without all the application and vice versa. Because many of you don't need the applications. 2. For next iterations before the release : - 1.0 B1 - 1.0 B2 - 1.0 RC1 - 1.0 RC2 - 1.0 3. I will do a summary in few days of the work to do before the release and propose you a road map. What do you think about it? I think, we can use the apache voting system (for those who don't know it: http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html) 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

I didn't do much (I'm attaching a pom.xml that I started but it won't help much). My main issue at the time was that ibiblio POMs were almost all wrong. I think the situation has changed now and it should be much more usable.

It might be a good time to think about it more in details. Cool. However I don't think the module split above would be much impacting by the choice of running inside a container or not. The modules would still be needed. It's just their implementation that would change. > Indeed it will have some impact in the development. I suggest we do this > on a branch. The objective is to get out a new release with the wysiwyg > editor and the new skins, so this should be work for the next release My advice would be NOT to do it on branch. My personal experience (on all projects where I have tried this) is that it doesn't work... You should rather do it on trunk slowly (as I did when I modified the m1 build). The reason is that the branch will never get merged in the trunk (it's just too hard to do). So what I'd do is simply start introducing the modules one by one and ensure that the current build continue to work at all times and add a new m2 build for the new modules. This is what I've done on Cargo too and I currently have two builds sitting next to each other but using a m2-enabled directory structure. Once our m2 build is as good as the m1 build, we'll remove the m1 build.

Re: [xwiki-users] Spellcheck
by Hans Gerwitz 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

(Moving this to xwiki-dev) True, but a plugin architecture for simple, linear editing "workflow" beyond the present edit->preview->save might make sense. It'd be nice to have edit-time plugins that not only correct spelling, but suggest internal links, verify external links, request entry of tags, auto-create objects based on content, etc. While working on SnipSnap, I often find myself wanting to plug into the edit lifecycle. Perhaps refactoring the render lifecycle to use WikiModel presents an opportunity here? - - - Hans Gerwitz http://phobia.com/ On Dec 20, 2005, at 11:04 AM, Ludovic Dubost wrote: > > Hi, > > A spell check plugin does not make much sense anymore.. > The Googlebar is compatible with both IE and Firefox and includes a > spellcheck toll for forms > > Ludovic > > Marc Lijour a écrit : >> Hi >> >> Is there a spellcheck plugin available? >> >> Regards, >> >> Marc >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> --- >> >> >> -- >> You receive this message as a subscriber of the xwiki- >> users(a)objectweb.org mailing list. >> To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected] >> For general help: mailto:[email protected]?subject=help >> ObjectWeb mailing lists service home page: http:// >> www.objectweb.org/wws >> > > > -- > Ludovic Dubost > XPertNet: http://www.xpertnet.fr/ > Blog: http://www.ludovic.org/blog/ > XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com > Skype: ldubost AIM: nvludo Yahoo: ludovic > > > > -- > You receive this message as a subscriber of the xwiki- > users(a)objectweb.org mailing list. > To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected] > For general help: mailto:[email protected]?subject=help > ObjectWeb mailing lists service home page: http://www.objectweb.org/ > wws

New Skins work
by Ludovic Dubost 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi All, I'm working right now on new skins both for XWiki.com wikis and the open source XWiki. In the process, the structure of the main templates has been simplified to handle 2 columns by default. We plan to reintroduce the third column later. We also plan to add an easy system to choose colors for your skin using "color schemes" in the XWiki preferences. I'd like to start a discussion about which is the best skin for the default wikis on xwiki.com and in the open source wiki, as well as which one is the best skin for the xwiki.org web site. XWiki.com will have a different skin which is going to be "business oriented", which we could also use for XWiki.org. You'll find links to the skins on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Skins The three new skins are Sinorca, Blue, Wikipedia http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/SinorcaSkin.gif http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/BlueSkin.gif http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/WikipediaSkin.gif The other 2 skins are a little older: Business: http://pause-java.com/xwiki/previews/business/800_600.jpg ModernBlue: http://pause-java.com/xwiki/previews/modern-skin/800.jpg We are also interested in feedback about the business skin: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Dev/Skins/XWikiComBusinessSkin.gif Let us know what you think. The number one objective is deciding for a default skin for Wikis and the skin for XWiki.org.

Improvement: LDAP authentification with virtual wikis
by Xavier MOGHRABI 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hi XWiki developers, I'm using LDAP to authentificate users for several virtual wikis. I'm using a single LDAP a base for all the wikis. The problem I had is that when a user logged on a wiki he was only added on the wiki he logged even if my authentification is unique. So that's difficult to manage the access rights if I have to look for the user page. So, when we use virtual wikis and LDAP authentification, I propose that users should be added in the wiki where the LDAP has been configured: - 1st case if the authentification has been configured in the preferences of the Main Wiki or in the xwiki.cfg file, the users should be added in the Main Wiki. -2nd case if the authentification has been configured in the preferences of a Virtual Wiki, the users should be added in the Virtual Wiki on which the user is logging. By the way, to prevent access right problem, after having creating the user XWiki should flush the cache. Here is attached a patch that I've tested on my wikis with the 1st case only that should do this.

TinyMCE Wysiwyg Problems
by Sascha Österle 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hello, I intesively tested the tinyMCE wysiwyg editor from the standalone package. (XWIKI 0.9.1000 - I know its a developer version) and discovered some problems. I would be gratefull for some hints/workarounds. If there are none I hope that my report is helpfull for the X-Team. 1) It does not always save when using Internet Explorer, but it is not clearly reproducable for me. Has anyone got a idea how to solve this (workaround or sth.) 2) It keeps Changing Links when saving [NoSpace] => [NoSpace] => [NoSpace] [With Space] => [With Space] => [With Space>With%20Space] [WithGermanCharÄ] => [WithGermanCharÄ] => [WithGermanCharÄ] Legend: "=> means 'becomes when saving'" From now on, IE and Firefox both show very strange links in the status bar. I believe the URLs are escaped once more before displaying. This leads to: http://../With%2520Space.... for a link that should in my opinion be http://../With+Space or perhaps http://../With%20Space This leads to several Problems: a) IE not usable b) You have to save the document twice to get your final Links. c) "http://../With%2520Space" Links are always marked as non existent. When I try to edit them, the content apears in the editor. After saving they are still shown as non existent. Wiki Syntax edited Links handled special chars and spaces well. Does TinyMCE have to escape those? How can I stop it from doing this? Thanks! Sascha ps.: Besides the links thing the editor ist just great! It works perfectly even vor longer texts. Thanks a lot for such a neat tool.

XWiki Release?
by Paul Dlug 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Is there any time estimate on a new release of XWiki? It seems to have been a very long time since the previous one. Are there also any plans to include functionality to allow one wiki page to be included inside another? (to do some rudimentary templating) Thanks, Paul
