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 -Vincent On Feb 26, 2008, at 9:36 PM, Vincent Massol wrote: > Hi everyone and Jean-Vivien, > > Jean-Vivien has done a lot of good work adding a tutorial on > xwiki.org. > See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/MetadataLuceneTutorial > > However I'm wondering where we should put it.

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...
