Hi All,
How do you modify the User Profile and add additional persistent properties?
Do I modify the XWiki.XWikiUsers class?
Also how do you retrieve these property values?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I've updated the XWiki Roadmap to 1.0RC1, then RC2, then XWiki 1.0.
There is currently 101 tasks open.
If you think some are missing either complain or add the task. It's not
clear how we will make the schedule work but at least we have a plan.

Has anybody tried using <iframe> in a wiki page? The page renders ok but the
Menu and Toolbar does not appear. However if you view the html source, the
Menu and Toolbar html content is there.
Any ideas?

Hi Jie,
Thanks for your email.
For XWiki the way I would do it:
- Have the FAQBot hosted on a wiki page. This page would have a text input
field for letting users enter queries and it would list answers on the page.
We should also provide other interfaces like IRC/chat/mailing list.
- Have some macros that can be used in the same manner as the {excerpt}
macro is used by Confluence. One macro would be used to designate a
question, another one for an answer and yet another one for a srai.
- Have some pages that are AIML sets. Mark them using a XWiki object class
and load them when the FAQBot page is loaded.
- Create on the fly AIML sets by aggregating all information scattered in
the different pages (using the macros)
About the reinforcement. It could be done by different ways. One idea:
- On the FAQ bot page we could have a "teach" button where we would ask the
user to enter his question and the answer he would have liked.
- All these user questions/answers will be added automatically to a User
AIML set (a xwiki page containing AIML). This AIML set will also be loaded
by the FAQBot page (same as the other AIML sets).
- Whenever this user AIML set page is changed a diff email will be sent to
the XWiki dev mailing list. The idea is that XWiki community will provide
oversight about new questions/answers. The reason for the oversight is
double:
- to verify users do not enter stupid questions/answers
- to possibly refactor the existing AIML sets or pages containing custom
tags by removing the user-entered information and placing it where it is
more appropriate.
Again, all this should be packaged as a XWiki application. Jeremi Joslin
should be able to help you about the format (he's the one who's created the
notion of XWiki applications).
Last, we need to start deciding on the project directory structure in SVN.
Could you please come up with a proposal? Also, we're doing a generic FAQBot
so I'd like it to remain as separate from XWiki as possible. The generic
part and the XWiki specific ones should be cleanly separated in this
directory structure. Could you please come up with an architecture diagram
fro this?
Thanks

PS: I'm cc-ing the xwiki-dev mailing list. They may have some
ideas/remarks/feedback.
PPS: I'd need a formal updated proposition from you listing deliverables and
planning so that we're clean WRT Google. Including the architecture diagram
in the proposal would be nice.

Hi All,
Typically I retrieve cookies used for rendering with the OnLoad event in
Javascript. Do you know how to do this from a xwiki page or any other
alternatives?
Thanks
Duke
