Re: [Proposal] Committers list and Emeritus committers (SUMMARY)
by Vincent Massol 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

This proposal is fully accepted. Here are the results: - jeremi: +1 - jean-vincent: +1 - ludovic: +1 - sergiu: +1 - vincent: +1 Some have not voted :-( - nam - marta - amelentev - jkraemer - tepich - slauriere - moghrabi - wr0ngway - torcq - rewbs - sgaide I wonder if these persons shouldn't have been contributors rather than committers... :-) I am now modifying the permissions accordingly in ObjectWeb.

Apparently nothing is easy when it comes to browsers and especially IE... :-) We already have some JIRA issues for stuff that need fixing in IE7. Please also open new issues if you find anything not working in IE7. So do we all agree that our minimal list of browsers we're supporting is: * IE6 * IE7 * FF 1.5 * FF 2.0 If so I'll add some note on the web site (I'll add the JDK 1.5 requirements too at the same time - I'll create a prerequisites section). It also means that when we add some new feature or fix something we need to test it with all these browsers! Thanks -Vincent

excluding the XWiki space on xwiki.org from the rss feed
by jeremi joslin 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi, what do you think about excluding the XWiki space from the rss feed? Because users don't care about the modification of the configuration of the wiki or the new accounts, they only care about the content modifications. jeremi

Vincent, As discussed on IRC, here is the Confluence IRC bot adapted for XWiki: http://soal.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Code/XWikiIRCLogger NB: I have it up and running on a local XWiki instance, but could not use it on xwiki.org (XML-RPC requests return HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed) or on the hosted wikis on xwiki.com (see http://www.nabble.com/XMLRPC-on-xwiki.com-tf2958729.html ).

During my experiment I added a DBListClass (to test this) but can't see how to remove it. Cheers, Dan PS. Top job on getting b2 out :)

[xwiki-dev] Database name
by Robin Fernandes 13 Jan '07

13 Jan '07

Hi all, I think XWiki is picking up the wrong database name for XMLRPC requests (see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-738 ). I'd like to fix this, but can't establish how to get the correct database name in the code. Elsewhere, it is either obtained from an XWikiContext or XWiki object (which are not available in the RpcHandler), or it is hardcoded to "xwiki". This feels wrong since it could be set by the user in hibernate.cfg.xml. What's the correct approach? :) Cheers, Robin.

eXo xwiki integration
by Nicolas Pays 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hello, I have problems integrating xwiki in exo platform. I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask, but had to pick one, please tell me if I chose wrong. So, here is the context : I'm using eXo sources dated 20070108 and xwiki 1.0 Beta 2. xwiki.war is placed in webapps, xwiki.conf has been modified to set exo usage. portlet.xml seems ok, web.xml has been modified to add the portlet/servlet wrapper. I modified wxiki context from / to /xwiki. With all this, xwiki portlet appears in eXo import portlet. The database has been loaded from the script 1.0-beta1, in a database named xwiki, accessible with user xwiki/pass xwiki. When I try to prompt xwiki in eXo, I have a "You are not allowed to ... message, end hidden by black squares". I'm connected with exoadmin. Just to be sure, i logged to xwiki (standalone) and created a exoadmin user. But I still get this kind of errors : "[INFO] XWikiRightServiceImpl - Access has been denied for (xwiki:XWiki.exoadmin,Main.WebHome,view): access manager denied right" along many stack traces about documents that could'nt be instanciated because no row with id xyz found in database. Looks like a bad filled database to me. What did I do wrong ? Any thing I didn't do ? What do I have to do ? Sincerely yours, Nicolas Pays.

CFP - Research Room @ FOSDEM: Libre software as a matter of research
by Stéphane Laurière 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Call for Participation ====================== Research Room @ FOSDEM: Libre software as a matter of research E pur si muove (And yet it moves) http://libresoft.urjc.es/Activities/fosdem2007 Joint workshop on "libre software research meets libre software developers", sponsored by the QUALOSS, SQO-OSS, QUALIPSO, FLOSSMETRICS FLOSSWorld and EDOS EU-funded projects The workshop will take place in the Research Room in the next FOSDEM, to be held on Brussels next February 24th and 25th 2007. Libre (free, open source) software development has been gaining attention from the research community during the last years. Currently, many research groups are focused on understanding, and trying to improve, the practices, procedures and products of the libre software development community. This research is starting to produce a new view on many aspects of the classical software engineering paradigms. In fact, if the lessons shown in most classical software engineering texts were applied to almost any libre software development project, it should be concluded that it was headed to failure. And yet it moves... Libre software is showing a new way of organizing software development projects, in forms that make success possible under circumstances previously thought to be unmanageable. In this context, the relationship between research groups focused on understanding libre software, and software development groups actually producing libre software, can be of great interest for both parties. FOSDEM, probably the largest meeting point for libre software developers in Europe, provides an opportunity for this contact and exchange of ideas. The idea of the Research Room at FOSDEM is to explore the opportunities of this exchange, and what happens when developers and researchers are put together in the same (physical) space. Therefore, we're asking for contributions both from researchers and developers, on the following topics (the list is not exhaustive): * What developers feel could be useful from research on libre software * Feedback from the developer community to researchers * Experiences of developers and researchers working together * Results of applying research methodologies and analysis to libre software projects * Results (including expected results) of research projects studying libre software * What can the research community offer to libre software development * Methodologies and techniques that could be used to address specific problems in libre software development Although academic presentations are welcome, other, more informal (and maybe provocative) contributions are also encouraged. The main target is to have a good collection of ideas and experiences to foster discussion and interaction. Those interested in contributing are invited to submit a short paper in PDF format, summarizing the intended contents of the presentation (probably two or three pages are enough, but no paper will be rejected for being too long). It should provide enough information to let the organizing committee decide on its appropriateness for the workshop, and the potential interest for participants. * Deadline for submissions: January 22rd 2007 * Notification of acceptance: January 31st 2007 * Workshop dates: February 24th (afternoon) and 25th (morning) 2007 Submissions should be sent to all three addresses below, by the deadline: * Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona - jgb at gsyc.escet.urjc.es * Israel Herraiz - herraiz at gsyc.escet.urjc.es * Gregorio Robles - grex at gsyc.escet.urjc.es Accepted papers will be published on-line, after letting authors provide more complete versions, if they want. Organizing committee (alphabetical order, tentative list)]: * Ioannis Antoniades (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece) * Adriaan de Groot (KDE) * Jean-Christophe Deprez (CETIC, Belgium) * Roberto Di Cosmo (University of Paris VII, France) * Rishab Ghosh (MERIT, Nederlands) * Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain) * Israel Herraiz (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain) * Stefan Koch (Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, Austria) * Sebastian Kugler (KDE) * Stéphane Laurière (Mandriva, France) * Martin Michlmayr (University of Cambridge, UK) * Gregorio Robles (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain) * Diomidis Spinellis (Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece) * Ioannis Stamelos (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece) The Research Room at FOSDEM is sponsored by the following projects (although the meeting is completely open to anyone interested): * FLOSSMETRICS * QUALOSS * SQO-OSS * QUALIPSO * FLOSSWORLD * EDOS All these projects are funded in part by the European Commission, under the Information Society Technologies (IST) research programme of the Sixth Framework Program. A list of the IST projects in the area of Software Technologies is available from http://cordis.europa.eu/ist/st/projects.htm -- Stéphane Laurière Email: slauriere(a)mandriva.com Mandriva Research http://www.mandriva.com http://nepomuk.semanticdesktop.org http://www.edos-project.org
