Hello everyone,
I've been following the onboarding tracks 1 and 2 on the past days, here is
what I can say:
The first track really helped me to get started in XWiki contributions as I
could easily pick a jira issue to work on. The issue description was clear
even though we had to discuss it on the chat. Speaking of the chat, it has
been a very valuable tool, people have been very responsive and I was
rarely stuck. I found the development practice a bit inconvenient at first,
having to make changes in the vm files of my XWiki instance and then report
the changes to the sources. I would have love to see a way to link my
source files (especially for vm/js/css files) with the one of my XWiki
instance to avoid errors when I copy past my changes (and get benefit of my
git ecosystem).
The second track is a good introduction to some XWiki concepts, I don't
have much to say for this one. A link to a real application could maybe
give a better understanding.
Thanks again for the help I had!
