Actually I've been thinking maybe we could
provide a Macros/ space
with XE. The home page would be a improved version of the current
XWiki.WikiMacros page (adding for example a ClassSheet for macros, a
form to create a new macro, some documentation, etc.)
WDYT?
This polishing would empower a standard user to use this XWiki advanced
feature.
I don't quite agree. Standard users shouldn't see this space. it's something
technical and 99% of wiki users don't want/need to see it (and they won't even
understand it). So for me this space would need to be hidden from simple users (same as
for other tech spaces).
I'm not sure what the proposal is about exactly. Some open questions: Would the macros
stay where they are currently located? Shouldn't macros stay with their apps? Does it
mean a new platform/application in svn? What macros go there? When do we use wiki macros
vs java macros (we haven't really decided on this I think)? Will java macros also be
listed on that home page (they should IMO)?
Generally speaking I'm rather +1 (I'd like macros to stay in their apps though).
Thanks

PS: I didn't even know about
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WikiMacros ;)
I wonder why it's not already using a livetable....
Here is my +1.
