Hi
Because of all the issues I have trying to convert XWiki Blog to 2.0
I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to rewrite it in Groovy
than trying to convert it?
I also agree that we should make it a java component, i.e. move most
of the velocity code located in BlogCode and such into a java API that
can be reused from wiki pages and only keep presentation code in the
Blog application.
However that's more work and can be done in a second step. The first
step IMO is to convert the blog app to 2.0 syntax. It's very easy to
do so. However make sure you're using XE 1.9.1 or 2.0M1 since you need
to use the new velocity macro with the new default whitespace/newline
strategy.
