[xwiki-devs] Ideas for GSoC 2012

Dear all, Some ideas for GSoC 2012: - Native Ace code editor support I think the future is to code online in the browser, I would like to see Ace Editor http://ace.ajax.org/ integrated in Xwiki as a native editor (not only for some objects), as an alternative to the wysiwyg, text and htmlarea editors for pages. The editor must support html, javascript, velocity and java syntax. The use case is: be able to write velocity ad groovy code in pages with a gui editor. - Node.js extension for real time editor I think in order to enhance collaboration we need a real time editor. I would like to see node.js integrated in Xwiki. In order to keep the architecture simpler I guess we could think to a "editing session". Use case: - three users wont to modify a page - they open a node.js session with the page content - work there - save the page back - we could use restful api to allow node.js to communicate with xwiki - Spreadsheet support I guess xwiki leaks spreadsheet support. This could be great for budgeting and control, in order to reduce attached excel files and move to a real collaboration over data. The Sheetserve community edition could be a source of inspiration http://extentech.com/estore/product_detail.jsp?showdetails=true&product… (PS: Why don't move to Google groups for a better and simpler mailing- list management?)
