Hi, I just switched from MediaWiki and installed XWiki 1.1m3, and I found section editing and collaborative editing one page in xwiki is not so well supported compared with MediaWiki. And I have several questions:
(1) Instead of using h2 tag to automatically add a section editing icon, could I manually tag a paragraph as a section and edit it?
This feature isn't implemented. Is that something Mediawiki does?
(2) Even if I divide the whole page into several sections with h2 tag, when different users edit different sections in one page, xwiki still indicates someone locks the page, is it possible to get smaller lock granularity and lock just the section rather than the whole page?
This is a bug. Would you mind creating a JIRA issue for it? (in the XWiki Platform project - http://jira.xwiki.org)
I think wiki is a collaborative tool, and editing one page in the same time is a very important functionality and should be well supported.Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks.
Agreed.
FWIW we're working on some research project that would allow to modify simultaneously the same page and still resolve all conflicts automatically... ;) But that's not for now. We need some more time...
So for now we need to improve what we have. (2) is definitely a bug. (1) is harder to do and we would more information as to how this would work from a user point of view (like how do you tag a paragraph for example).
Actually, it's not that hard to implement 1, as long as we know what is the syntax for tagging that.
Yeah but I'm not convinced this is high priority compared to other stuff we have though. -Vincent
