[xwiki-devs] CAPTCHA module investigation
by Eduard Moraru 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hi devs, We have been getting reports recently of people getting a lot of SPAM in their public XWiki instances, even if they had the CAPTCHA module [1] enabled on their comments/registration pages. These past 2 days I`ve been investigating the current status of the CAPTCHA module and what is the state of the art in fighting SPAM. I have produced the following document [2] that I would like you to have a look at and tell me what you think and/or what is your experience with XWiki's CAPTCHA module and with fighting SPAM in general. TL;DR: I would like to propose that we move to Google's new NO CAPTHA reCAPTCHA as the default CAPTCHA solution and that we implement a configurable back-end that allows admins to easily switch between CAPTCHA engines/services. Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Captcha+Module [2] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/CAPTCHAinvestigation70

[xwiki-devs] Professional support update?
by vincent＠massol.net 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi, According to http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance I wonder if we shouldn’t update the following pages: - Download Feedback page at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DownloadCode/DownloadFeedback - support page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support#HProfessionalSupport I can see 3 changes that could be required: 1) Maybe Espressto wants to add itself on those pages since Clemens is from that company. Since it fulfills our Governance rules, Clemens is free to add Espressto there if he wants to (if Espressto wants to). 2) Should we remove Kreablo (Andreas) since he’s not been active for several years now and fails our notion of Active Committer? 3) I’ve counted 9 active XWiki SAS committer (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/HallOfFame) There are 13 active XWiki SAS contributors in total though but 4 are not committers. So we should update the count I think. Note: we’re not clear on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance if we require Active Committership on the xwiki github org or on xwiki contrib. I feel that it should be on the xwiki github org. Do you agree to explain this on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance ? Thanks -Vincent

by vincent＠massol.net 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi devs, I’ve created (and implemented) two JIRA issues to implementing automatic checking of our rule defined at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#H40Unsta… - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-730 - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-731 I’ve committed them which means the build is now failing on master and we need to fix it ASAP. To check locally just execute: mvn checkstyle:check Please all help in removing the @Unstable annotations that shouldn’t be there anymore. Let me know if you don’t agree! Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki 6.4 Released
by vincent＠massol.net 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 6.4. The 6.4 release is the last major release of the 6.x development Cycle and as such was mainly dedicated to improvements and bugfixes on things introduced during 6.X. This version introduces some developer oriented improvements: allow wiki based skins to overwrite macro.vm template, allow filesystem skins indicating explicitly the skin they are inheriting from, allow any component to be injected with its ComponentDescriptor, Panels and UI extensions are now executed with the right of their author so among other things they can use APIs requiring Programming rights. It also brings UI improvements in the Menu application, a new Mail application (and Mail-related improvements, such as the ability to send massive number of emails) and lots of Flamingo skin improvements (Mobile-friendliness to mention one), while offering developers the ability to write LESS in Skin Extensions, and a cool icon picker. Last but not least, this version provides the ability to rate Extensions inside the Extension Repository and visualise them inside the Extension Manager. You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki64 Thanks -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] What default base skin for wiki skins
by Thomas Mortagne 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Since 6.2 (and XE-1419) there is no base skin by default which mean that if you forget to set a base skin in your wiki skin it inherit directly from /templates and /resources. XE-1419 was done mostly to make sure colibri and flamingo were not going to inherit from each other. This leaded to http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11443, I see several possibility to close this issue: 1) won't fix, if you want a default base skin then just set it in xwiki.cfg 2) put back the default skin in xwiki.defaultbaseskin (so flamingo) in xwiki.cfg 3) force wiki skin to fallback in default skin The issue with 3) is that it makes impossible to do a wiki skin from scratch (why not ?). Now that filesystem skin explicitly indicate there parent skin 2) is not a problem anymore for them so we could put it back, I guess my +1 goes to than and that's what I will do to unlock 6.4 if there is no answer. I don't have a strong opinion on it since I pretty much never ever do any wiki skin, just want to close this issue... -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [QA] Feedback for 6.4
by Manuel Smeria 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hello devs, During the past days I have started testing 6.4RC1 on multiple browsers: IE10, IE11, Firefox & Chrome. I have been doing the manual tests listed on the Test Reporting Wiki (http://test.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome) a place where any user can help by doing some tests. I know XWiki 6.4 is scheduled to be released within the next days. I will continue with the manual tests, go through the list of bugs fixed for 6.4 and also take a look at the new features. Besides these, do you want something else tested as well ? Thank you, Manuel
