Vincent, I added a comment on the page with my
thoughts (not sure of how the continue the discussion - in the users group or on the wiki
page).
My rationale is in the comment:
Not sure I understood your point! :) Could you explain why it’s not a good idea to try to
have to maintain documentation content in a single place? I understand that we need
several ways to reach a documentation place and I agree with having a FAQ entry for this
precise example for that reason. However, I really think we need to try to have all
documentation about a given feature in a single location as much as possible.
I got your email and saw your edits, I am just thinking answering the question directly
and pointing to the documentation would have been most helpful to me when I was looking.
Interesting before I sent the note to the user's list, I searched for "xwiki
restore deleted document", "xwiki recycle bin" "xwiki trash" etc.
and did not find the Index Application page. In addition, I also searched xwiki.org for
"restore deleted page" and did not find anything.
I think the challenge for me as a newbie is that I do not know the nomenclature of xwiki
yet. I do not know how I (or other newbies) would have known to look for the Index
Application?
What do you think? Hope my merging of our efforts is OK?
However your point about maintaining two sets of documentation would be a pain and not a
good idea. Maybe I am just addressing the wrong problem. My issue
was that I could not find the existing documentation. I restored your version and just
added "on how to restore deleted pages/attachments.”
I’ve also edited a bit the documentation page
at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Index+Application
It’s now linked from 2 places I know of:
- http://main.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+do+I+restore+a+deleted+page+or…
- http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DocumentLifecycle#HRestore (which is
the first entry I get in google when I search for “xwiki restore deleted attachment”)
Hope it’s now easier to get that information from the onset! :)
Thanks for your help!
-Vincent
Thanks,
Patrick
