Marius: is there jira for all informations to put in MacroDescription
you need for the WYSIWYG ? You can assign them all to me if it's a
priority for you I can take care of it.

For me it is to access the list of macros by a library first (with a
nice description)
In JV's mockups macros are grouped by category. See
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface#HMacros
. I need a way to retrieve macros by category/library.

I can work on the Excel plugin. I just need to be told what to change.
We could also add
- the RSS refactoring which was mostly done by Marius.
- include the Excel plugin in the standard distrib
committers: Who would be able (read: have the time) to work on this?
- handling of velocity macros
This is already planned an included in "finish new rendering" and
assigned to Jerome.
- Macro libraries and improved macro inserting
I guess "improved macro inserting" is in the WYSIWYG editor. Could you
be more specific to see if it matches what Marius is working on?
Then it is listing the available macros with a
nice description.
I have the description. Now it is used as a tool tip for the macro title
in the Edit Macro dialog. I know, it's hidden.
Then it is editing the parameters with a nice
description for each
parameter and eventually some types params (lists, etc..) and controls
I have the parameter description and type. I don't have the list of
allowed values and the default value. The description is used as a tool tip for the input control (again, it's hidden).
The type is used to
choose the input control. Currently I have this mapping:
boolean/java.lang.Boolean -> BooleanInput (a combo box with three
options: yes, no, unspecified)
java.lang.String -> TextInput
What other controls would you like to have Ludovic?
Current macros parameters also contains Enums. You should have a drop
down list for theses or something like this.
Regarding the library/macro/parameter description we need to update the
UI design to take it into account. Maybe an information icon (like it
used to be in Curriki) near the library/macro/parameter would do. JV?
Thanks,
Marius

Re "macro libraries" not sure what this
is about. Is it about the
ability to load velocity macros in the Velocity Engine only once
(using for example the existing "velocity macros" field in the admin
(programming section)?
Yes it is having a section on the admin that lists the available
libraries and have a easy way to add a new one (it can be standard XAR
import).
We should eventually be able to deactivate some libraries.
It should list libraries provided by the Wiki, by the XEM instance and
natively (macros.vm or rendering macros)

Thanks

Also concerning 1.8.1 there are a few
features/bug fixes that we
need to
include as Curriki is depending on it and it won't be possible to wait
for 1.9 for them.
- Insert Attachment
- Font/Size/Colors management
- Sufficient wysiwyg parameters to show/hide certains features in the
dialog boxes
