well the DWR tutorial was never completed, and its the next project.
In fact what I am doing with this tutorial (and hopefully with another one
talking about DWR and tree view) is the result of my end-of-studies
internship. The prototype I have done at my internship company was rejected
by my company's management. But everybody was impressed by the work i had
done, which was basically porting one system to a wiki platform, so using
xwiki as a basis and extend it a bit. Since my prototype will not be used
for further dev by the company, I am trying to give something back from my
internship - 4 months of work *have* to produce something useful, and I hope
it will be my xwiki tutorials.
I will correct everything in the tut' when i am back from a family trip
(after the 4th of March, thus). In the meantime, please put my tutorial into
the draft section and let the dev community decide what to do with it (or do
whatever you want with it). Just tell me what has happened... We can add the
functionnality to the core (though I will need help from on how to design
the modifications that have to be made). It will be a pleasure to work on
this for me, and to give something back to XWiki. It will not be done
overnight, though. If I get a job from the 1st of April, then I may not have
much time in April. Of course during March i will definitely have time to
devote to XWiki :-). i am up to it, if you want...

BTW Jean-Vivien you also have another tutorial you had started on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/PluginDWR
which could also be moved at the same location we decide to move
this new tutorial.

I forgot to clearly say I was very impressed by
the done work by
Jean-Vivien.
Seems he's really researched the xwiki development capabilities!
Jean-Vivien, since you seem to have a really good grasp of XWiki I
hope you'll consider contributing improvements to it and maybe even
join us as a committer one day :)
Thanks
