I guess what I should have said is how do I find applications that meet this criteria if I wanted to help with this? Or I just need to volunteer and then you (or someone) will give me work to do? :)
You cannot guess this! :) You need to pick an extension you'd like to improve and then see the work to be done on it. If you don't have any idea this one is a good one to start with: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Polls+Application I know that it needs at least items 2 and 3 from my list (i.e. Application Panels entry + Transaltion XObject). I don't know the syntax of its pages but I guess it's already 2.0. But generally speaking pick one app that you've installed and that you like or that you'd like to use and see what small things you can improve in it, especially regarding these 3 items (but not limited) :) Thanks for your help! -Vincent

Is there a way we can search of Wiki pages that have 1.0 syntax?
Searching for page syntaxes is easy: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Syntaxes+Distribution+C...
But what's the relationship with this thread? :)
Or do you mean how to search for pages located inside XAR files, attached to wiki pages or located in a maven repository?
Thanks -Vincent

Hi developers/contributors,
We have quite a lot of applications on http://extensions.xwiki.org
However several haven't been updated for a very long time even though XWiki has made progress.
I can think of 3 areas where help would be appreciated:
* Some apps have wiki pages in XWiki Syntax 1.0 version. Those need to be upgraded to XWiki Syntax 2.1. * Some apps don't register themselves in the Applications Panel. To change that just need to create a new page with the proper XObject. You can copy the Blog.ApplicationsPanelEntry page to this app's space and edit it. * Some apps don't automatically register translations and force the user to manually add documentation resource bundle in the Administration. There's now a better way which is to add an object of type XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass
Example of app that would need an update: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Polls+Application
So who's willing to help? :)
Note that the best strategy is to ensure that the application has a git repo on https://github.com/organizations/xwiki-contrib (there should be a Source button on the app page on extensions.xwiki.org too). If not, then let me know by answering this email and I'll create it for you and give you access so that you can make changes there. FYI the full process is documented at http://contrib.xwiki.org and I can help you with that.
Thanks! -Vincent
