[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] RedPen Integration into XWiki as Extension (Gsoc Project 2017)
by deshengchuan 15 May '17

15 May '17

Hi all. I am De Sheng, a student from Singapore. Thank you for choosing me for gsoc. This is my first open-source project, so I do hope that you guys would be tolerant towards any potentially "newbie" questions that I may ask. My project is to integrate RedPen into the XWiki platform. What I'll be planning to do would be to parse user inputs when they create an XWiki app or page into a separate database, then run RedPen, a word-editing software onto it. I'll make an extension with UI to allow the user to set natural language rules. As for now I have not fixed any JIRA issues yet as I've only just finished setting up the maven environment on my desktop. (I had previous custom maven repositories and settings which I had to undo so I took much longer than expected). Now that I'm ready to debug, I am going to bug everyone with questions and possible issues (Please don't kick me out for that pun.) As with Sarthak's example, I also created a design page. (http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/RedPenIntegration) Thank you in advance for the guidance! P.S. This was actually to be posted a couple of days ago but I had some issues with subscribing to the mailing list. Sorry for the delay. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Proposal-RedPen-Integration-into-XWiki-as… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Create a separate IRC channel for notifications
by Vincent Massol 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi devs, I think we’ve reached the point when we need 2 IRC channels: * one for users and devs discussions (“xwiki”) * one for notifications (“xwiki-notifications”) There are too many notifications right now to be able to have unobstructed conversations on IRC. Note that ideally this will require modifying the IRCBot application so that some Botlets are on the main “xwiki” channel (like the the jira botlet that gives the full URL of a jira issue) and the others on the “xwiki-notifications” channel. However, FTM I’m proposing to configure the IRCBot to use the xwiki-notifications channel exclusively. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Introduction2] [GSoC]
by Krzysiek Płachno 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi everyone, I'm Krzysztof Płachno (Christopher or Cristof is also possible to use when addressing me). I'm last year Master Student of Computer Science, specialization Intelligent Systems. I come from Poland, from extremely beautiful city - Cracow (let me know if you show up here be chance:)) Many thanks for accepting me for GSoC in XWiki. Whlist looking for project to apply, I focused to find something in Java, since I have 1year experience of working in IT company as Java Dev. That's how I found XWiki, but when I started reading about it, no longer Java was the only interesting thing about it, but above all the approach of building speed light fast web apps, using ready-made components and scripting in web browser on running system. Sorry, for introducing myself with a bit of delay, but I had recently a small earthquake in my personal stuff. Everything is fine, now so I'm getting down to work! Currently I'm finishing https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14138. It took me a lot of time so far, since it's quite a deal to run everything for the first time. Many things for tips and help I got on mailing list! What I'm going to do during GSoC is to extend XWiki platform to be able to import extensions from new repositories like: Bintray, Pypi, NPM, what means that also new packages type are to be integrated. It seems quite challenging and so - even more interesting. I hope it'll be a great time and great experience to see how it is to be Open Source Dev, even more, that the project and community are that cool. To contact me - *mail list* or *direct mail* to me is fine: krzysiekplachno(a)gmail.com As regards IRC - I'm still a bit overwhelmed with a waterfall of messages on it, bit I'm planning to integrate myself with it... somehow... Thanks again! Best, Krzysztof

Hello everyone! I’m Shubham Jain from New Delhi, India and I’m really excited about being part of XWiki as gsoc student for 2017. Thanks to all the mentors especially Thomas Mortagne, for his time helping me with the proposal and reviewing it. I’ll be working on the ‘DocuWiki importer’ using the stream framework. So for this month, I’ll trying to understand DocuWiki and Xwiki’s data format and storage schema. I love working with data at scale, and i’m sure this is going to be a great learning experience. Here’s the project: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/DokuWikiimporter2017 github/jira/xwiki.org/irc username : slayerjain I’m in the final year of my Bachelors of technology in Computer Science & engineering. I also intern at Amazon Web Services (it ends on 14th May). AWS really made me fall in love with data science. I’ve also completed all 5 AWS certifications (including AWS solutions architect professional). I’ve worked on designing and optimisations of many enterprise stacks and also have worked closely with the hottest startups India. Apart from that produce music, and can play most common instruments. Feel free to ping me if you wanna listen to some of my work :) Hoping to work closely with all of you, and thanks again for the opportunity! Best Shubham P.S. Sorry for the delayed introduction.

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Provide a single distribution packaging WAR using winstone
by Vincent Massol 11 May '17

11 May '17

Hi, The idea would be to do the same as what Jenkins is doing and provide an executable XWiki WAR using winstone: https://github.com/jenkinsci/winstone (it’s using Jetty). This is the install doc of Jenkins: https://jenkins.io/doc/: " • Download Jenkins. • Open up a terminal in the download directory and run "java -jar jenkins.war" • Browse to http://localhost:8080 and follow the instructions to complete the installation. “ Actually what could be nice is that we could release a single WAR packaging for XWiki and: * Users could execute it as an executable WAR with java -jar xwiki.war (it would run Jetty) * Users could deploy it in their servlet container (in this case the embedded Jetty wouldn’t be used) This would allow to release a single packaging and simplify things. It would also work on all OSes and don’t even need users to unzip anything! WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Develop v
by Vincent Massol 09 May '17

09 May '17

Hi, Feedback from user (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/DownloadFormFeedback) “ Hello! There is very lack simple data backup. The lack of a simple backup of all data (via the web interface) greatly limits the use of Xwiki. Such a backup is available at Confluence. Another disadvantage is a complicated backup and a complicated installation. “ I think that a first step to answer this would be to develop a new XAR format version (v1.4 for example, see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XAR%20Module%20Specifi…) that adds support for saving/restoring the permanent directory. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
