Re: [xwiki-devs] Onboarding feedback

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.
