Hi all,
I'm proud to announce that after a few weeks of hectic downtime I finally
got XWiki.TableEdit extension finished. XWiki.TableEdit allows you to edit
wiki tables as if they were spreadsheets using the jquery.sheet in-browser
spreadsheet editor.
Internally XWiki.TableEdit is an exiting foray into a new frontier of modular
javascript, relying entirely on Asynchronous Modular Definition to load it's
component parts. (
https://github.com/amdjs/amdjs-api/wiki/AMD )
XWiki.TableEdit is still in it's infancy, future plans include editing of
spreadsheets in attachments, conversion of the loading and saving APIs to the
simple REST-like JIO standard (
http://www.j-io.org/ ) so that others can more
easily develop similar editors, and porting the entire widget from painful
hand written javascript to simple HTML5 based on renderjs
(
http://www.renderjs.org/ ) which can be installed in other frameworks.
More information about the extension:

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially browsers where it doesn't work.
xwiki-contrib JIRA project coming soon..
Thanks,
Caleb
