Hi,

I'd like to write a tutorial about using DWR (www.getahead.org) )with XWiki plugins. This is about third party software, but I think it can be something that people creating plugins for xwiki might want to use. This way I can share my experience (Ive been working with that for two months). I dont have any interest with the guy who developped it, I just think its a good tool to use. I havent heard of an equivalent solution developped by XPN. Though just let me know if it exists.
Do you think its a good idea? Im gonna write it, just delete it if you dont like, or tell me what to change.

See <a href="http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/PluginDWR ">[DevGuide.PluginDWR]</a>

This is great and please do write it! :)

Two comments:

1) I think it would be better located, linked on this page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Tutorials and thus as a children of Tutorials

2) The page is empty right now. We have created a space for drafts that are not ready yet for public consumption. It's on

http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Draft/. Please consider using it till you have the doc in a state good enough. We really want to keep xwiki.org in a finished look state as much as possible.

Can you also review <a href="http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/CreatingPlugins#HPluginlifecycle ">the plugin creaton intro</a> ? Im not sure my last contrib was relevant/true. I think that someone needed to start putting this kind of info in the Developper guide, anyway.

Yes I have planned to do this. Right now, my only comment would be to remove the DWR section you've added as the goal of the page is to create a simple standard hello world plugin. I would put the DWR part in the tutorial about writing plugins with DWR.

WDYT?

Thanks a lot for doing all this, this is great :)
