Hi Caleb,
Ok I've played with it, very cool! :)
Some next steps:
* Make it a real extension installable with the Extension Manager:
** Move the project to xwiki-contrib and release a first 1.0 version of the JAR and XAR in
the xwiki maven repo for contrib
Slightly later:
* Add an Extension Point for the Edit menu and transform the JS Skin extension into a UI
Extension
Of course in term of the editor itself there are a few things to improve. Some ideas:
* Release the lock only when all the editors have either cancelled or saved the document
so that someone who edits in wiki mode gets a lock dialog box if someone is still editing
it
* See who's editing + colors to differentiate users
* Use a textarea similar to the wiki editor one (no line number, same font, etc)
Thanks
-Vincent
