Hi devs, Me and Marius worked on an improved Administration proposal. It includes: - categories/sections reorganization in order to priorities often used sections; - clearly describing the property and displaying default values; - integrates a collapsible menu that will reduce scrolling; - more polishing, standardization and consistency in styling; You can read more and compare with the current version at: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Administration9x We want to implement the changes, so we ask for your vote and feedback. My +1 Thanks, Caty

Hello, I've been given a website to modify using the XWiki CMS. Been looking, trying to understand how to modify the top banner on each page, as well as deleting the banner altogether on an individual page that "pops up" with some information. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jim

by Vincent Massol 20 Mar '17

Hi, We were supposed to release 9.2RC today but we’re a bit late on the Admin UI refactorings. Marius is finishing a working version by tonight so we should start our release tomorrow. Hope this is fine with everyone. Note that we shouldn’t delay more since 9.2 final is next Monday. Thanks -Vincent

by Thomas Mortagne 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hi XWikiers, Good news, this year again XWiki has been selected as mentor organization ! The next step is for mentors to register to https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ as ask to be mentor for XWiki project (admins can also send invitations). Also don't hesitate to add more proposals on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ (there is only proposals from two mentors right now), more details or co-mentor existing proposals. Some students already started to communicate with the community which is great so continue and read http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines to have a better idea of how to get more chance to be selected by XWiki mentors. Good GSOC 2017 ! -- Thomas Mortagne
