Hi All,
XECLIPSE-21 <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XECLIPSE-21> complains that
space description set on the space creation page (on xeclipse) is not added
to the space's home page. But the actual problem is that addSpace() xmlrpc
intentionally ignores space description . I think catalin worked on this
and he has mentioned about this on the method comments. Anyway, i'm
attaching a patch with this mail that would fix it. Catalin, is there a
particular reason to ignore the space description ?
Thanks.

New subject: [xwiki-devs] XECLIPSE-21 : [actually - space description ignored in back-end xmlrpc]
Hi Vincent,
I had a discussion with Catalin about this issue and according to him XWiki
does not have a notion of a space description. How this situation to be
handled ?
1. Froget about space description in xeclipse ?
2. Call it initial HomePage content and add this description to space's home
page at the back-end xmlrpc. <-- bad since we should not be modifying xmlrpc
interface for every little problem.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Nope :)
When you create a space you actually create a WebHome document. So
the space "description" is actually the WebHome content.
WDYT?

Yes, see above.

If you think it's worth it then add this feature to xwiki. Trying to
fake it won't do.
When you create a space you actually create a WebHome
document. So the space
"description" is actually the WebHome content.

This is not a solution (to what I consider a non-problem ... what's
the purpose of the description anyway?). Nobody will expect that
changing the WebHome document will also change the space description.

In my POV, there are no hard & fast rules when it comes to this sort of
issues. We always have to make decisions leading to trade-offs sometimes. If
there is no such thing as a description for a space and if creating a space
actually means creating a WebHome document, setting space description as
WebHome's initial content (only in creation time) will be acceptable. But
this doesn't mean we should change WebHome's content every time the space
description is altered (and there is no such thing as a space description to
be altered). We can document this in xmlrpc saying space description will be
added as WebHome's initial content.
Only change in xeclipse will be to re-label "Description" field as
"WebHome
content"....
This is just an opinion.

change the content of WebHome. This would be just

stupid as the WebHome page is usually the most
important page in a
space.
