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:
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!

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+…
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

I'll create it for you and give you access so that you can make changes there. FYI the
full process is documented at
