Hi Caleb,
This is great progress ! Way to go.
Some improvements, sorted by priority from my POV:
- Support real-time editing on an object Textarea field
Not sure I understand this,
you mean for inline edit?
if so, there will of course be issues with input fields, checkboxes, and radio bubbles.
- The current textarea does not allow to do a select
All of the text
Added an issue for select all with ctrl+a as well as save (alt+s)
and save+continue (shift+alt+s)
https://github.com/cjdelisle/xwiki-platform-realtime/issues/3
- XEM compatibility either as an extension for the
global wiki, or as a
template based install (right now you have to install the XAR in each wiki)
https://github.com/cjdelisle/xwiki-platform-realtime/issues/2
- Install through extension manager
https://github.com/cjdelisle/xwiki-platform-realtime/issues/4
easy to do as long as XEM support still requires manual intervention
I think the rest of these issues fall in the "refactor realtime editor"
category.
I started a draft here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/RealTimeEditor
So we can talk about what is best for the next generation of the editor.
Thanks,
Caleb
- See who's editing
- Auto-saving
- Handling merging if there has been a concurrent editing
- Support a live switch from wiki editing to real-time editing

Hi Caleb,
Ok I've played with it, very cool! :)
Some next steps:
* Make it a real extension installable with the Extension Manager:
** Move the project to xwiki-contrib and release a first 1.0 version of
the JAR and XAR in the xwiki maven repo for contrib
Slightly later:
* Add an Extension Point for the Edit menu and transform the JS Skin
extension into a UI Extension
Of course in term of the editor itself there are a few things to improve.
Some ideas:
* Release the lock only when all the editors have either cancelled or
saved the document so that someone who edits in wiki mode gets a lock
dialog box if someone is still editing it
* See who's editing + colors to differentiate users
* Use a textarea similar to the wiki editor one (no line number, same
font, etc)
Thanks
