Re: [xwiki-users] Bulletin Board Edit Message

Hi Forrest, thanks for the feedback :-) I basically agree with you. The issue here is about "Bulletin Board Philosophy" - if I may ;-) Here are the options : - a post is something definitive that was said at the time it was said. Though his / her author might want to edit it afterwards, it reflects something about him / her and the state of the discussion at that point of time. Therefore the discussion shall not be changed afterwards, even for "cosmetic" issues such as spelling -> if someone doesn't want to take the time to write without spelling mistakes it says something about him / her - a post is a piece of information posted by someone who meant something that might or might not have been reflected properly in the post. Therefore an author should be allowed to edit any of his posts afterwards to change it. Notwithstanding all that BS, I think the best thing to do is to provide the edit feature and tell people that it is a bad practice to use it to alter the overall meaning of the discussion. Indeed. I cannot remove object edition right away, simply hide it from basic users I think. A potential solution is to couple the right to add posts with the comment right instead of coupling it with the edit right as it is now but I fear it's a bit out of my reach (I'm only developing stuff in my spare time). I'll try to see whether I can tackle the issue somehow... I'll keep you informed about my progress. Thanks for trying out XWiki and getting back to the community with your suggestions :-) Guillaume
