No reason other than time and priority (we're fixing bugs in
priority). But yes I'd also like that we convert the full default XAR
to 2.0 syntax (right now all pages are in 1.0 syntax).
In case it is possible and someone could tell me where
to start
looking into it I would try to accomplish that.
Actually all you need would be to translate the blog template page to
2.0 syntax so that all new blog are created in 2.0 syntax automatically.
You can go to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/Blog/
BlogPostTemplate and convert it to 2.0 syntax use the right panel.
Then when you create blog posts they'll be in 2.0 syntax.
Note that converting only BlogPostTemplate means that the include
macro used in that page will use the automatic converter to convert
1.0 BlogPostSheet page to 2.0 syntax and the converter can only do its
best so there'll probably be small issues. To make it perfect you'll
thus also need to convert BlogPostSheet and any possible page it
depends on.
If you want to share you work with others, you'll need to convert all
pages in the Blog space, export the pages as XAR, create a jira issue
and attach the converted XAR to it.
For now I cannot promise anything because my time is
very limited
and free time is quite unpredictable.
Thanks
