[xwiki-devs] useless delete at startup editbox_% ??
by Paul Libbrecht 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hello team, I am meeting a query at startup of my xwiki (3.1) which takes more than three minutes. delete from xwikiproperties where xwp_name like 'editbox_%' and xwp_classtype='com.xpn.xwiki.objects.LongProperty' I don't find where that query is made anymore, Google is becoming worse and worse to search for XWiki things, but I vaguely remember something about it. Do you all agree it is useless a delete? Should I create an SQL index just for that? thanks in advance paul

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] XWiki is applying for GSoC 2012. Proposals and mentors needed
by Eduard Moraru 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi devs, XWiki is planning to participate in this year's Google Summer of Code [1]. The organization registration period has already started and the deadline is the 9th of March [2] (a bit more than one week). 1. We need to provide by then a list of proposals and assign mentors for the students that are going to implement them. I would like to ask everybody that wants to participate as a mentor from the XWiki organization to review the proposals [3] list (that is currently empty) and add as many interesting proposals as possible. The proposals can be either new, or they can be revived from previous year proposals. Just navigate to the previous years, find the proposal you like and know about, go to its proposal page (click it) and press the "Clone to this year" link. Now you can assign yourself as lead for that project, update it's description if needed and wait for the student applications to start pouring :) 2. We also need to submit the actual application [4] of the XWiki organization to participate to the GSoC 2012 project so I would also like to ask you to review it so that we have a better chance of being selected into the program. Thanks for your help, Eduard ---------- [1] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 [2] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012 [3] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/#HProposedProjects28… [4] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/OrganizationApplicat…

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Automatic translations copy of renamed translation keys
by Thomas Mortagne 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi devs, Right now renaming a key is a pain if we don't want to loose the existing translations associated to it. Basically it require to rename the key in all languages and reimport all of them on l10n.xwiki.org. We already have a section in the translation file to indicate which translations are deprecated. The idea is to indicate what is the new name of a deprecated translation key directly in the translation file so that l10n.xwiki.org can automatically copy the translation to the new key when it find a new deprecated key while importing default translation file. For that we need to decide a syntax to indicate what is the new name of the key. I propose to do something similar to java and indicate it in a comment like the following: new.key.name=Default translation #@deprecated new.key.name old.key.name=Default translation Here are some other alternatives to "deprecated": * replacedBy * new others ? Here is my +1 for "deprecated", more intuitive for Java developers and it's clear it's a deprecated translation key. Thanks, -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Move Extension Manager to commons
by Thomas Mortagne 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hi devs, >From the start Extension Manager has been designed to be usable outside of XWiki. I would like to make this effective by moving it into commons. Here is the detail of the operation: = Not moved * UI of Extension Manager * Xar handler * Server side module and UI of XWiki Repository (but the client will be moved to commons since a generic REST protocol has been designed for it which could be implemented by anything) * Clustering module * Script service module * An ExecutionContextInitializer which is responsible for switching the current Thread classloader for each new request with the one linked to the current wiki (so that everything loading classes like script macros do it from the proper classloader) That means that the commons version of Extension Manager will support everything the current one supports except for the thing that don't make sense outside of XWiki (XAR packages, wiki pages UI, etc.). = Dependencies to move * ClassLoader module: even more than Extension Manager (and like other stuff that will follow in other mails) this module is ready to be moved as it is except for the attachment based support which is already in a separated module and will stays in platform obviously. = Extracted from Extension Manager * Job Manager: encapsulate background task into a job providing progress and status informations as well as logging isolation. In it's own module. * ClassLoader Manager: namespace based organization for classloaders (like we have for Component Managers). In the existing classloader module. WDYT ? Here is my +1 -- Thomas Mortagne
