[xwiki-devs] [vote] Release the xwiki-model-backport project in the sandbox
by Anca Luca 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi devs, I would like to release the xwiki-model-backport project at https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/xwiki-model-backport/ . This project is a backport of the xwiki-model module, as it was released in version 2.2 and in addition with http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4775 applied, which can be deployed on a 2.1 wiki and a 2.2 wiki (with some extra-hacks though), so that references in general and references for objects & properties can be used on these versions. In particular, it is useful to be able to install the annotations extension on these 2 versions. I would like to release it now since it won't have any improvements (this is its final version), and it should be published in the maven repo so that projects can depend on it. here's my +1, WDYT? Happy coding, Anca

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Allow users to invite friends to join a wiki by email.
by Caleb James DeLisle 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Should this be a jira top level project? I don't see what existing application it would fit in. Some information about the code's current form: It allows users to invite their friends to join a wiki, it has some strict measures too handle spam situations, the email message is saved and administrators (people with edit rights on that page) can review sent emails. The email has an ID string which is contained in a link sent to the email address so that the invitee can report the email as spam (this is a function of the template.) falsely reporting messages as spam is protected because the ID string is a large random number. Users can send to one address and admins can send to as many addresses as they like. Email addresses are checked against a regular expression before sending and invalid addresses will not be sent to. If the sender is a user and can only send to one address then the address is checked against LiveValidation as well. If a message is reported as spam, then it is flagged on the list and when an admin views the list they can inspect the message and select a button to indicate that the situation has been investigated.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XE 2.3 Updated Roadmap
by Vincent Massol 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi, Since today is the day we're supposed to release XE 2.3M2 and since we've released 3.2M1 quite late compared to the original date we need to decide what we do from now on. Original dates: * XE 2.3M1: 8 March 2010 (1 month after XE 2.2 final) * XE 2.3M2: 29 March 2010 * XE 2.3RC1: 12 April 2010 * XE 2.3 RC2/Final: 26 April 2010 Here's my proposal: * We have enough new features already (captcha in comments, new theme editor, annotation features, any char supported un doc names, lots of rendering fixes, etc) to justify a final XE 2.3 release * I suggest Thomas finishes putting our Lucene search as the default search since it's now working well enough. AFAIK Thomas is only missing an admin screen to finish it. * I suggest we don't have more new features (unless someone has something that can be committed this week - Caleb: what about the invitation feature?) * I suggest we release: ** XE 2.3M2 on the 5th of April ** XE 2.3RC1 on the 12th of April (one week after) ** XE 2.3RC2/final on the 19th of April (and in case we have problems we can delay by one week till the 26th of April) WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Issue with Pygments/Python
by Nicola Nardino 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi all, I've come across this issue today while using the code 20 macro. It seems that there's an issue with the class loader that is unable to locate one of the packaged python modules (os). It might explain the cause given the fact that with Tomcat I've no issues (now using Weblogic as company wide app server). Have you ever experienced something line this: Caused by: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "__pyclasspath__/pygments/__init__.py", line 36, in <module> ImportError: No module named os at org.python.core.PyException.fillInStackTrace(PyException.java:70) at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java:181) at java.lang.Exception.<init>(Exception.java:29) at java.lang.RuntimeException.<init>(RuntimeException.java:32) at org.python.core.PyException.<init>(PyException.java:46) at org.python.core.PyException.<init>(PyException.java:43) at org.python.core.PyException.<init>(PyException.java:61) at org.python.core.Py.ImportError(Py.java:264) at org.python.core.imp.import_first(imp.java:672) at org.python.core.imp.import_name(imp.java:756) at org.python.core.imp.importName(imp.java:806) at org.python.core.ImportFunction.__call__(__builtin__.java:1232) at org.python.core.PyObject.__call__(PyObject.java:367) at org.python.core.__builtin__.__import__(__builtin__.java:1202) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Issue-with-Pygments-Python-tp4816815p4816815.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] Question about start_xwiki_debug.sh

Dear XWiki Developers, When I execute start_xwiki_debug.sh, it gives me this: Starting Jetty on port 8080 ... Logs are in the ./xwiki.log file ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510) JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:690] FATAL ERROR in native method: JDWP No transports initialized, jvmtiError=AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197) Aborted However when I executed "start_xwiki.sh", it works.

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] New committer Denis Gervalle
by Thomas Mortagne 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hi committers, I would like to propose Denis as a XWiki core committer. Denis is an experimented developer (20 years) and has started developing and selling application (through his companies Softec and eGuilde) using XWiki since version 0.9. He had used fully the XWiki model, in the context of multilingual wikis and farms, and he have therefore a very good knowledge of the oddities of the core in many aspects. Denis is one of the few that knows very well deepest parts of XWiki (even some of the new components). Since he have build large applications over XWiki and works for customers, he also provide good feedback and have strong ideas and proposals to improve our current implementation. However he has been very busy these years and he had initially postpone my wishes to vote him as a commiter in September last year. Now he is more available and we decide to go on. Bugs reports by Denis are verified and usually well documented, often with patches when possible or at least some analysis of the issue. The largest one that I have just applied is XWIKI-4627 "Reduce heap exhaustion during export (and partly import)" (see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4627) Some stats: - Issues reported by Denis(62): http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&reporterSe… - JIRA comments by Denis (174) and Mails sent by Denis (43): http://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=from%3ADenis+Gervalle - Total patches from Denis (19), 10 have been applied: http://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=Denis+Gervalle+keywords+patch - Mails mentioning Denis on devs and users mailing lists (192): http://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=Denis So, I propose Denis to applies his own patches from now on. Here is my +1. Thanks -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] Question About Debugging Wysiwyg
by Leon Wang 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hi Dear XWiki developers, Hi Marius, I follow the instruction about how to debug Wysiwyg, " To debug using XWiki in the backend you have to first start the server (normal or debug, depending if you wish to debug server side code also) and then run the start_wysiwyg_noserver_debug.sh script from the same directory as start_xwiki.sh (copy it there first)." I used the start_xwiki.sh script to start the server. Then I used start_wysiwyg_noserver_debug.sh script try to debug it. However, after execute the script and it says "Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5006". I use Eclipse Remote Debug connect to the port 5006. Then the Google Web Toolkt Hosted Mode windows will prompt up and it says "Unable to find 'com/xpn/xwiki/wysiwyg/Wysiwyg.gwt.xml' on your classpath; could be a typo, or maybe you forgot to include a classpath entry for source?' I have copied the Wysiwyg folder, which is /com/xpn/xwiki.wysiwyg and Wysiwyg.gwt.xml, to the same folder of the start_wysiwyg_noserver_debug.sh. Is it because Maven gwt project layout and the gwt project layout are different? What should I do? Thank you! Jue Wang

[xwiki-devs] Important regression in 2.2.3 release !
by Thomas Mortagne 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

Hi xwikiers, We just found an important regression in 2.2.3 in the rights management user interface. This bug prevents rights to be correctly saved unless you manually select either groups or users radio button first. See http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise223. Work is in progress to fix it, a 2.2.4 will be released ASAP. Really sorry about that :( Thanks -- Thomas Mortagne
