Hi devs,
I'd like to propose releasing XWiki Syntax 2.1 as official (it's currently
experimental) for XWiki Rendering 3.4.
Rationale
========
* It has useful expanded support for links and images compared to 2.0
* It's been "experimental" for a long time and people are already using it
* It would be nice to release it in the 3.x cycle since it was started in that cycle
* That would allow us to start XWiki Syntax 2.2 for the 4.x cycle (see outstanding items
at
http://tinyurl.com/6pdt5oa )
Migration aspects
==============
* I don't think we need to mandate moving to 2.1 for users. They can keep using 2.0 if
they want
* We should make it the default wiki syntax starting in XE 3.4, leaving 2.0 available by
default
* I believe there's no conversion issue between 2.0 and 2.1 so it shouldn't be an
issue for users wanting to switch.
* We could provide a migration script on
extensions.xwiki.org for users wanting to convert
all their 2.0 pages into 2.1 pages
Here's my +1
Thanks
