Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki scripting for end user (not Groovy)

Hello *, I quite agree with all that's been said in this topic about usability. I must say also as old 0.9 versions user, that usability, user-friendliness, have been considerably improved since these old versions, thanks to xwiki great team ;-) So I believe this will continue to evolve and be better and better with new releases. About scripting : in my team we had "basic" end-users (not quite participative to start with), and 2 admins (including me). As admins we added much dynamic features in many pages, scripting, groovy, HTML, SQL requests and so on ... Now end-users are much more participative, and problem is that : - we broke possibility of using WYSIWYG editor on these highly dynamic pages - for end-users, editing these kind of pages is an awful experience, because it's not human-readable anymore (accepting developers are not completely human ;) ). In my opinion with XWiki architecture it should be strongly advised to separate "pure content" pages and dynamic or complex pages, using macros for example. It's a good development practice anyway, but you might not think about it when you start working on a wiki site. Anyway I don't regret using XWiki because it's a great wiki IMO, and I really appreciate the way it evolves Jeremie ________________________________ From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Guillaume Lerouge Sent: mercredi 21 novembre 2007 11:15 To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki scripting for end user (not Groovy) I'm happy to hear that. I hope I didn't seem to harsh on the feedback. I do think xwiki is a nice product! XWiki users feel about our software. And hopefully you'll be bringing improvements to it on your own soon ;-) Guillaume William _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- http://wikibc.blogspot.com/
