Team:
I have completed a high-level summary of the XWiki DB Schema which can be
found at:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/XWiki+Database+Schema
In our efforts to dramatically improve developer documentation on XWiki,
one of our goals is to ensure that the documentation is both accurate and
up-to-date. It would therefor be beneficial if someone could take the time
to cross-check the document for errors and correct them or notify me of
necessary changes.
Thanks!

Hi there,
It would be nice for xwiki to offer a solution for providing RSS feeds for
private wikis. One solution that I've seen used is to generate a unique RSS
feed URL per registered user. Here's a security note I've found on a site
that does this:
"
Don't share RSS and iCal links
Anyone with the URL to these links can see your posts (via RSS) or
milestones (via iCal), so be careful who you share them with (and don't post
them on public web-based newsreaders or aggregators such as Bloglines).
Also, don't share these links within the company. Each person should login
and subscribe to their own personal feed.
Should someone else get ahold of your private RSS/iCal URL, just change your
password ("Contacts" tab) and a new URL will be generated (you'll need to
resubscribe - the old URLs will be invalid.
The details: The RSS and iCal links use a unique token in the URL as their
only form of authentication. That means anyone with the full address will be
able to subscribe to the feeds without logging in. Therefore, you should
take care to keep these URLs hidden.
"
Here are the format of the feed URL on that site:
http://learning.something.com/projects/174559/feed/recent_items_rss?token=f4
546fdb83e37546546ghgfddg4&client_id=139454
I think this is a nice solution.
WDYT?

That worked...thanks! Can you explain to me why it worked? Also, what is
the appropriate way to clean up (i.e. remove) unwanted users?
Thanks again,
Johnnie

Maybe somebody modified the registration page. This page should not be
modified by a non admin
Save it again using an admin.

there are no errors within the tomcat logs directory log files.

Hi Stephen,
Aggregated PDF is clearly something XWiki can do.. Table of Content it
can do it too thanks to Jiri ! But it's true that it's currently not
possible to handle page numbering and adding the numbers to the table of
content.. Now this is a really powerful and interesting feature..
I'm highly interested in how this could be done and learning about
existing tools that can do it.. If cocoon can do it, it could be
possible to write a wrapper around the cocoon feature that does it as
long as cocoon can accept the XHTML of XWiki.
Maybe it's not that complex and FOP or PDF can give us some help in this
area with some easy markup.. Any pointers about existing tools that do
it would help me check how this could be put in XWiki.
I'm adding the developers list because developers could have some ideas !
