Hello,
First I like previous feedbacks (on wysiwig, tables, etc).
Then some random "ideas" of things I'd love to see in xwiki:
- flavors ! ;-)
- EDM ! I agree some extensions already go in this way, and it's better to
have this as extension(s) and not in core, but maybe a default EDM oriented
flavor could be very interesting for enterprises
- more "inline" editing of some very standard pieces of the UI (editing a
panel, editing the custom menu from Menu extension, customizing xwiki top
menu, customizing page menu/actions, etc). Like an online editor of all
content except page content ? Would be so nice to have a little pencil icon
appear on hovering of a panel title ... :-)
- better wysiwyg edition of some specific macros (include, etc), I suppose
you see what I refer to
- more easy customization of pdf export (possibility to choose a template
at time of export and not only through url param, from a list, have some
app to customize header/footer without having to customize skin prefs,
manage a catalog of templates, etc)
- have a way to assign a "label" to a set of pages revisions (ie, similar
to a tag in mercurial, but on wiki pages). Then I could, for example,
export a xar, but based on a specific "label". Or export a multi-page pdf,
based on a label. (pretty useful, or even essential, for EDM flavor)
More in terms of "extensions", so I'm not sure it fits here, but :
- an extension to manage trainings (catalog, members, schedule)
- managing distribution-lists (Exchange) - note that I might contribute
something for this, if I can ...
- roundtrip with DITA (import/wysiwyg-annotations-comments/export) (DITA is
Darwin Information Typing Architecture)
- move back to java 6 ! (no, that's a joke, sorry :D )
Note: these are my own "needs" (say, wishes) as wiki admin, I'll try to ask
some users to get their feedbacks,
Br,
Jeremie

Hello,
You invited us Vincent, then here my proposals.
+10 to thanks Xwiki task force team (especially to support my harassment)
WYSIWYG based on FckEditor better to work on tables IMO
+1: "I want the columns to be plainly visible, not just the rows"
especially when we edit a table
Add tab "Source" on WYSIWYG editor in Blog and FAQ
Add anchor lists on the page (a macros?) to add an link to an anchor
#HAnchorTitle) and update anchor link when anchor target is renamed
(difficult) & detect link with anchor when a page is renamed.
Use pure CSS for xwiki menu (without JS)
Last but not least: forbidden Vincent to awake devs at 2 hours in the
morning on IRC xwiki chanel to chatting about an obscure xwiki code... ;-)
Thxs for all.

Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] What would you like to see in the XWiki 7.x
cycle?
Hello.
New XWiki user here.
First, a big thanks, we are enjoying XWiki. :)
We have a fairly common use case, using the wiki for documenting servers
and systems, trying to build an SKMS ala ITIL.
What i'd like to see is better formatting of text being cut & pasted from
(mainly) Word.
The single biggest issue I have heard complaints about is formatting.
We are moving away from a Lotus Domino environment and here too the
formatting is mangled (this may have everything to do with Domino and
nothing with XWiki however) when doing copy/paste.
I'd like tables to work like they do in Excel. When I press the tab key I
want to move to the next field.
I want to be able to size the table with my mouse in real-time.
I want the columns to be plainly visible, not just the rows.
I want numbered lists to be a core feature.
Making text different colors and/or fonts should work like in a regular
word processor, with a menu item in the WYSIWYG editor.
That's from the top of my head, anyway.
Have a great weekend.
Regards,
Daniel

Dear XWiki users,
We’re getting close to the end of the XWiki 6.x cycle (6.4 is planned for
the end of December) and in January we’ll start developing the XWiki 7.x
cycle (which will last the whole 2015 year), starting with XWiki 7.0.
Thus it’s time for the XWiki devs to start defining the global roadmap
for
XWiki 7.x.
As XWiki users, I’d like to know if you have some needs for XWiki 7.x.
What would you be interested in seeing in XWiki 7.x?
I’d like to start some proposal on the xwiki devs list (for the XWiki 7.x
cycle) around end of December so it would be nice if you could shoot your
suggestion ideas fast so that we can take them into account in the
discussion! :)
Thanks a lot for your help and I hope you’re enjoying using XWiki!
