Re: [xwiki-devs] MetadataLuceneTutorial on xwiki.org - Where should it go?

I forgot to clearly say I was very impressed by the done work by Jean-Vivien. Seems he's really researched the xwiki development capabilities! Jean-Vivien, since you seem to have a really good grasp of XWiki I hope you'll consider contributing improvements to it and maybe even join us as a committer one day :) Thanks -Vincent On Feb 26, 2008, at 9:36 PM, Vincent Massol wrote: > Hi everyone and Jean-Vivien, > > Jean-Vivien has done a lot of good work adding a tutorial on > xwiki.org. > See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/MetadataLuceneTutorial > > However I'm wondering where we should put it.
