Hi all
I'm pretty new to this great looking wiki and I'm not a developer.
For this I'm sorry when I'm asking for something, that already
exists and I'm just too blind to see it...
* I would like to give every member an own "member-page", where only
there and only he can edit the page. I guess with the current ACL
this is not that easy doable, right? Maybe it would help to split
"edit" into "create" and "update" and a definition for
"own"
content, "section" content and "all" content?
Every member already has such a page so all it would take I think is
to set page level rights so that only that person can access the page.
You could do that automatically by modifying the registration process
I think. You could do that by creating a XWiki.Registration page
(XWiki will use that page if it exists), copy some of the content of
registerinline.vm which you'll find on your file system where you
installed XWiki and add some Velocity to automatically add a
XWikiRights object to the just created page.

Something like I know from Joomla (JACL Plus):
http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=nt52dj9vpvb
(you have to type a CAPTCHA on the right and you have to wait 30
sec. before you can download the file, sorry)
So you want us to add lots more of nasty adds everywhere? (just
kidding but that page is just full of it! :))
* Tabbed pages would be awesome. Maybe an easy
"add/edit/delete" tab-
bar on the top (including ACL)
Yes that would be very nice, I agree. For now we offer XWiki Eclipse
which allows tabbed editing/browsing.
See
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extensions/XEclipseExtension
* A "secret" URL (ie. for the member-page)
like Google-Calendar
What is the use case? Is it because you want some pages to not be
visible and you wish to share them with people without having them
registered in the wiki? If so, I guess they would only have view
rights on the page?
Is it just for the members page or would you want this for all pages?
Again what would be the use case?
* A simple wiki wishlist on
XWIKI.org. Maybe we could
gather some
fresh ideas and maybe some volunters would pickup some tasks...?
There are several places to do this:
* In the code zone. For example:
-
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/
-
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/
-
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/
-
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/
* In JIRA there's a an "Idea" type of issue that can server for this
although I'd rather see it discussed first on the mailing list
* There's also a design zone here:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/
* Last, there's a draft area here but it's more geared towards
improving the doc on
xwiki.org:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/
In term of tasks and volunteers we're using JIRA: http://
jira.xwiki.org. You can already find hundreds of stuff that anyone can
pick and implement by submitting patches. See
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing
for more on how to contribute to XWiki in general.
Too bad I can't program myself :(
Then you should be glad that xwiki is made so that even non developers
can create small applications relatively easily. In addition if you're
interested in contributing there are lots of ways of doing so as
explained on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/
Contributing. One way that really helps is in helping with the
documentation on
xwiki.org.
Thanks
