[xwiki-devs] [Email Automation] Proposal for the Download form
by Benjamin Lanciaux 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hello XWiki Developers, Recently the following thread - [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Governance changes for xwiki.org - introduced some governance changes for XORG. I’m proposing to handle point A/ : Implementing a form on XORG (work already started by Vincent and Caty) and creating an email thread to manage the XWiki onboarding. Here is what I’m proposing to do. Use the XWiki SAS Marketing Automation Tool, Marketo <http://www.marketo.com/>, to automate some email messages after an XWiki Download. According to our governance 2 kinds of messages can be pushed to the XWiki download form DB members: 1. community related emails 2. business related emails *This thread is about discussing the community-related emails.* I would like to send automated emails on behalf of the XWiki development team. This is why I’d like your agreement on the flow below: 1. Send an email right after the download: « Get started with XWiki » 2. Wait for a week and then send a « Get the most out of your XWiki » email 3. Wait for another week and then send a « What do you think about XWiki? » email Below is the content I would put in these emails: ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- *# Email 1* Object: Get started with XWiki Body: Hello, Thank you for downloading XWiki. We hope you'll enjoy using it. In order to get the most out of your XWiki instance, we invite you to read the [[Getting Started Guide>> http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/||target= "_blank"]].

Benjamin Lanciaux On behalf of the XWiki development team ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- *# Email 2* Object: Get the most out of your XWiki Body: Hello, We hope that your recent XWiki installation is going well and fulfilling your expectations. XWiki can be used for various use cases such as: - Knowledge base - Collaborative intranet - Public website - Business applications You should check out what other [[users and companies have built with XWiki>>http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/References/||target="_blank"]].

by Julio Brum 31 May '16

31 May '16

Hi, I'm with the task of migrating the 4.1.2 version of XWiki to a newer version (7.4.3). I know very little about the XWiki, so would some initial tips, please. - Can I migrate directly to version 4.1.2 to 7.4.3? What better way to do this migration? Any tips? Some tutorial? - Currently XWiki is a physical machine. Can I migrate a VM? There are known problems in running Xwiki in a virtual machine? - Where are stored the files that users place? In the database or filesystem? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Julio

[xwiki-devs] [contrib][workflow-publication] Release of Publication Workflow application version 1.5.1
by Anca Luca 31 May '16

31 May '16

Hello all, A new version of the application workflow was released this morning, version 1.5.1. It contains only one fix compared to 1.5, issue http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XAWORKFLOW-16 , which is actually quite particular (we might want to revert this modification at some point in a future version, as it's only impacting some upgraded instances). Enjoy! Anca Sent from my phone

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Contrib naming considerations
by Vincent Massol 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi devs, This is a reminder for naming the contrib projects. FYI there are some guidelines here: http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/#HChoosingthename For example for authenticators it’s authenticator-<xxx>. I see for example the android-authenticaitor module which should be renamed authenticator-android IMO. Regarding https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/oidc we need to decide what to do on 2 aspects (I’m taking the examle of oidc but this just serves as an examle for the generic discussion): * How do we name repositories that contain various types of sub modules? Just use the concept name as Thomas did for odidc? Or should be define a prefix such as “all-oidc” or “other-oidc” or something else. I think just the concept name is ok. WDYT? * odic contains 2 submodules right now: oidc-authenticator and odic-provider. Should this be named authenticator-odic and provider-odic instead to be in sync with http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/#HChoosingthename. I think so. WDYT? See also my other mail about the jira module refactorings. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] JIRA Macro and JIRA Scripting API v8.2.1 released
by Vincent Massol 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi everyone, FYI I’ve released version 8.2.1 of the JIRA Macro (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JIRA+Macro) and the JIRA Scripting API (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JIRA+Module) The main new feature is the ability to access authenticated JIRA servers and to manage JIRA servers configuration from the Admin UI, see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JIRA+Administration/ Before you had to specify a URL when using the JIRA macro, such as {{jira url=“http://jira.xwiki.org” …/}}. You should now prefer using the {{jira id=“someid” …/}} parameter and define “someid” in the Admin UI. This allows to manage centrally JIRA instance configuration. Note that the URL parameter is still supported though. In addition, these extensions were located in xwiki-rendering and xwiki-platform. They’re now under xwiki-contrib which means they’re now no longer linked to releases of XWiki; they now have their own release lifecycle, which will have 2 consequences: - it’ll be easier to release new versions more quickly - any committer on xwiki-contrib can improve them Enjoy! Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] JIRA module refactorings
by Vincent Massol 28 May '16

28 May '16

Hi devs, While moving the jira macro to contrib and while adding support for the JIRA Macro configuration I”ve realized that the Macro JIRA configuration is actually generic to all JIRA modules since it configures JIRA instances (url, username, password). Thus I’m planning to do the follow module refactorings in contrib. There’ll be a single repository related to all JIRA stuff: jira |_ config-jira |_ config-jira-api (JIRAConfiguration). Can be used with just xwiki-rendering alone. |_ config-jira-platform (impl using wiki pages + SS). Depends on config-jira-api |_ config-jira-ui (admin ui). Depends on config-jira-platform |_ api-jira (JRJC API, currently in xwiki-platform-jira). Depends on config-jira-api |_ macro-jira |_ macro-jira-default <--- jira macro. Depends on config-jira-api. Can be used with just xwiki-rendering alone. We won’t advertise it on e.x.o. |_ macro-jira-platform <--- full jira macro. Depends on config-jira-ui. This is the macro that’ll advertise on e.x.o. Note: I’m planning to rename the existing "macro-jira" repository in contrib to “jira”. If you have any comments, let me know ASAP. Thanks -Vincent
