[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Do we still want to be accessible without javascript
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi devs, In a recent pull request (https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/254) I have "fixed" a bug reported by the accessibility validator by hiding a link if javascript is not enabled on the browser. It didn't fix the fact that the feature is unavailable without javascript, but at least the link was not there. I did it because I have the feeling that some committers think we don't need support the navigation without javascript in 2014. Now, it seems that we do not all agree about this. That is why I think we should talk about this to decide what rule we should put in place for the next years. Thanks, in advance, for your opinions. Louis-Marie

[xwiki-devs] How to end/finish respose programmatically?
by Valdis Vītoliņš 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Due to performance reasons I had to improve Groovy script to print results directly to the response object: {{groovy}} response.setContentType('application/xml'); response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); def out=response.getWriter(); try { ... out.println('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'); out.println('<certificates>'); ... But now problem is that after that I got additional XWiki HTML even using ?outputSyntax=plain parameter. I suspect, I need to end/close response somehow programmatically. Any hints? Thanks in advance

Hi devs, I’ve started to list at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/ApplicationDevelopmentBes… the list of best practices that we use for developing XWiki Applications. Please let me know if there’s something that is wrong there (i.e. that we’re not doing) Also, please add if you find missing things (I’m sure there are plenty ;)). Please make sure that you **only** add practices that we are **currently** following. Thanks! -Vincent PS: Actually I think this page should be moved to dev.xwiki.org and linked from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/BestPractices WDYT?

Hi devs, Today is Bug Fixing Day 49 (announcing a bit late sorry, I had forgotten ;)). We're currently at -119 bugs for the 1600 days period: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10352 As you can see on the graph we’ve been stagnating for a while now, we’ll need to draw some conclusions about this soon. Here's the BFD#49 dashboard to follow the progress during the day: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11893 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] 5.4M1 release day today + RM + lateness
by vincent＠massol.net 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi devs, Today is release day for 5.4M1. I see that there are quite a few broken functional tests (GuillaumeD, it seems you’ve broken the build 2 weeks ago… could you please fix it ASAP?). Could everyone check the CI to see if there’s anything they can fix? We also need a RM to start the release. Any volunteer? (If not, I’ll propose someone based on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ReleaseManagerRoster Good candidates: GuillaumeD, Denis, Sergiu and then Thomas, Vincent and last Marius who’s been doing quite a lot during the 5.x cycle). Please don’t commit anything that may fail the build ATM since we need to release M1. Note that I’m worried since the next release is RC1 and not much has been done compared to the defined roadmap… Please make sure that you can still implement what you had planned to do. Let me know how you wish to proceed. Thanks -Vincent
