Hi Devs,
I would like to improve Wiki Importer sandbox project, by making few changes
to the design to widen it scope of usage, and make sure its useful to the
community.
In the existing one (
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/xwiki-wikiimporter/), I
have implemented import from MediaWiki XML.
Limitations:
* listener implementation is tightly coupled with storage ( Importing/Saving
pages or other objects into XWiki).
* listener doesnt include all the xwiki related events.
* No separate storage component, that can enable both imports and exports (
e.g. export the parsed content into XAR ).
Existing documentation on WikiImporter :
http://gsoc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Import+Export+other+wikis/WebHome
http://gsoc.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Import+Export+other+wikis/Wiki+Impor…
Can i move the design documentation to Design Proposal wiki.?
As Thomas suggested, it will be good to rename wiki importer to converter as
it is not limited to importing only, So am planning to change it to
WikiConverter.
WDYT?

Sounds good to me although I don't know enough to judge. I liked importer since I
thought it was about importer data from another wiki into XWiki. What other features is
there?
Thanks

Millions of features ;)
At first yes but it became an event system where you can have some
exported wiki as input and a db importer as output. But you could also
change the output for a car exported for example. And ad input you can
have a database reader, etc...
Basically the goal is to do the new XWiki import/export system as well
as a lots of use case like migrate a wiki by puting a REST importer as
input and a database writer as output, etc...
Importing other wikis would be just one use case among others.

Apart from trivial features like import from filesystem, webservice ...
1. Extension manager can use this api to parse the XAR file. (Suggested by
Thomas ).
2. Instead of importing another wiki to XWiki, we can parse the content and
export it as XAR, which can be imported to another xwiki instance.
3. Imports and exports from XWiki to XWiki.
Its like there will be a Wiki Converter API which parses different export
types (e.g. XML dumps, database dumps, URL .. ) and fires XWiki related
events. these events can be used by XWiki-importer, XWiki-exporter,
extension manager to get its job done.
So, i would like to keep wiki converter, importer and exporter ... as
different modules. What do yo suggest ?
Thanks

Hi Arun,
I'm not sure if you are already aware of this but I used some bits of wiki
importer code on one of XWiki SAS client projects which involved importing a
mediawiki into XWiki. I think I did a lot of custom coding in groovy and
IIRC what I did is too mediawiki specific, but you might still be able to
grab something out of it. Please check with Ludovic for the code I
developed.
Thanks.

Asiri, I had to do the same thing for XWiki SAS after you and made the
wikiimporter evolve a lot for this with all the needed refactoring
etc... so the current source is already pretty close to what Arun is
talking about.
Thanks.

I remember you have shared this with me, have considered it while developing
the existing MediaWiki XML importer. Once again I shall check it out to make
sure that I didnt miss anything. :)
