Hi Vincent,
As the coding period begins tomorrow officially, so I will need a repo in
xwiki-contrib. :)
Also, will my general workflow be like:
- making changes inside XWiki(xwiki instance).
- Exporting those changes. (XML files will be generated)
- Adding those files to GitHub Repo.
- Doing regular commits to Github repo.
Secondly, I had a doubt that, if I want to customize a page using
CSS/Javascript. What is the correct way of doing that?
I mean, whether I create objects(jsx/jsfx and ssx) on the same page as
Glossary app home page(if I want to add styles to Glossary home page) or
make separate pages for them. I saw the blog app and there it is created
separately.
Also, I wanted to enquire if there is some naming convention while creating
different pages, or I should name them suitably.(Yes, those names can be
changed later :P).
* Have a “Add Glossary Entry” button and text field to add a new entry.
IMO, "Add Glossary Entry" button will vanish the 'context' thing
because glossary will for the items/words on different pages of XWiki. How
can a user enter a glossary entry if he doesn't know the source? :) (Just
like annotations).
So, I think, it shouldn't be there. WDYT?
Little Guidance required.
Thanks :)
