Hi
I know that we all volunteer for this project and so this is not a critic of anybody's work but I have to say that the Feed Plugin has more holes than a Swiss cheese and I should know. I could work around all the issues but now the SyndEntryDocumentSource class does not render Wiki 2.0 code (hard coded to 1.0).
There is also an issue where the conversion of Categories fails in the Rome Converters because the Categories is a String but the Rome expects a SyncdCategory. The only conversion that works so far is atom_0.3.
One of the problems I see with the Feed Plugin is that the test suite is not sufficient and therefore many of the method now fail in 2.0. I would volunteer to help to build it if someone could show me to how to setup a test environment where I could execute the Feed Plugin against (Blog first). Is there a plugin that tests against a mock up XWiki to make sure it is working?
Yes, the feed plugin was written pre-new architecture (component-based with tests)... It'll need to be redesigned/rewritten at some points to align it. This rewrite is not planned by any current committer so this will take a while (unless someone volunteers to do it) so I think it's safe to fix it here and there if needed for the moment.
