[xwiki-devs] Problems noticed while upgrading myxwiki farm to 3.0M1

Hi devs, I've noticed 3 problems we might want/need to fix before the final 3.0 release: 1) The wiki manager app generates a velocity error on CreateNewWiki page: http://myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/WikiManager/CreateNewWiki 2) If you create a new wiki, create a new user, remove the Admin user, you cannot add the new user for the admin group since when you remove the Admin user that group disappears in the UI. Caleb says he knows the problem and will be working on a fix over the week end 3) Previous blog application fails on XE 3.0M1 with: org.xwiki.rendering.macro.MacroExecutionException: Failed to evaluate Velocity Macro for content [{{html clean="false" wiki="true"}} ## ## ## #showBlogInfo($doc) #if($context.action != 'inline') #printBlog($doc) #end {{/html}}] at
