[xwiki-devs] [Notice] Change in JIRA components for runtime vs development time issues
by Vincent Massol 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hi devs, I've changed 2 components in JIRA: * I've created a new component named "Dependency Upgrades" for when we upgrade third party deps used by XWiki at runtime (don't use this category for third-party deps used only at development time like Selenium) * I've renamed "Build, Infrastructure and Tests" to "Development Issues only" to remove the confusion. This is for issues that shouldn't make it in the release notes since they're internal issues only used for our development process and do not affect users running XWiki. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HRule:Do… for details Let me know if there's any problem for you with this. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] LESS CSS
by Hamster 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

In my "struggle" to adjust the size of the panels, I need to change the CSS at multiple locations in order to change the width. I then thought "If the width of a panel was a variable, and all other CSS where formulas which uses that variable, I only have to change ONE parameter..." So I did a quick search and found this site: LESS CSS <http://lesscss.org/> Maybe this is something that is useful for XWiki? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/LESS-CSS-tp7587496.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [Call for help] Help the XWiki project update applications on extensions.xwiki.org
by Vincent Massol 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi developers/contributors, We have quite a lot of applications on http://extensions.xwiki.org However several haven't been updated for a very long time even though XWiki has made progress. I can think of 3 areas where help would be appreciated: * Some apps have wiki pages in XWiki Syntax 1.0 version. Those need to be upgraded to XWiki Syntax 2.1. * Some apps don't register themselves in the Applications Panel. To change that just need to create a new page with the proper XObject. You can copy the Blog.ApplicationsPanelEntry page to this app's space and edit it. * Some apps don't automatically register translations and force the user to manually add documentation resource bundle in the Administration. There's now a better way which is to add an object of type XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass Example of app that would need an update: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Polls+Application So who's willing to help? :) Note that the best strategy is to ensure that the application has a git repo on https://github.com/organizations/xwiki-contrib (there should be a Source button on the app page on extensions.xwiki.org too). If not, then let me know by answering this email and I'll create it for you and give you access so that you can make changes there. FYI the full process is documented at http://contrib.xwiki.org and I can help you with that. Thanks! -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] New rule: Put ScriptService implementations out of the internal package
by Vincent Massol 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi devs, We need to solve http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9157 I'm proposing to simply move all ScriptService implementations out of the internal package and make that a rule. These classes are used by introspection and as such as not used as components and thus they should not be in the internal package. Here's my +1 and I'm proposing to handle the move. I can't think of anything that would break except some users who would have had an import in a groovy script on some internal Script Service but that's ok IMO. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Fwd: [wikis-devroom] Call for participation @ FOSDEM
by Vincent Massol 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

We've succeeded in having a wiki devroom for FOSDEM 2014 (https://fosdem.org/2014/) :) This means we have a full track for wikis and we're now organizing a Call for Participation. I hope to see a lot of proposals from the XWiki community. If you know other wiki communities please forward them this email so that they can participate. The more communities the better so that we can cross-pollinate. Thanks -Vincent Massol Begin forwarded message: > From: Quim Gil <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> > Subject: [wikis-devroom] Call for participation > Date: October 7, 2013 9:24:39 PM GMT+02:00 > To: wikis-devroom(a)lists.fosdem.org > > Wikis devroom - FOSDEM, Brussels, 1 & 2 February 2014 > > CALL FOR PARTICIPATION > > IN SHORT > > We accept proposals for wiki related submissions.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Add a new xwiki-enterprise-archetype module
by Vincent Massol 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hi devs, I'd like to add an archetype module in xwiki-enterprise so that users can easily extend XE to create their own distributions. It'll generate a multimodule project with *-web, *-ui, *-data and *-distribution modules (and possibly installers in a second version). I remember some users asking for this (e.g. Fabio) and I have the need myself now. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Stop supporting XWiki Manager
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Since Enterprise embeds Workspaces by default since 5.2-m2, I think it does not make any sense to release XWiki Manager (XEM) anymore. The build is currently broken (because of the XAR organization changes). So I propose to remove XWiki Manager: - stop releasing it - move the github repo to xwiki-contrib/retired - update manager.xwiki.org to explain the changes in XWiki 5.2. - move the manager jira to the retired category - remove the build in ci.xwiki.org Here is my non-binding +1.

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki 5.2 Released
by Marius Dumitru Florea 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 5.2. This release comes with multiwiki support enabled by default: users are able to create new wikis without the need to install additional extensions. This is possible because the Workspace Application has been integrated in XWiki Enterprise. We stopped the support for XWiki Enterprise Manager as a consequence. Apart from this, the new release brings a Solr-based live search (to replace the one based on Lucene) and the ability to track active XWiki installs. The Distribution Wizard has a new step to upgrade all wikis. Developers will be interested by the new Wiki Stream framework which can already be used to export large wikis in XAR format. A lot of bug fixes (135) and many improvements (50) complete this release and make it worth trying. 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/ReleaseNotesXWiki52 Thanks -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] Changing skin... in the session?
by Paul Libbrecht 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Hello fellow developers, what is the best practice to decide on a skin in the session and not carry it along with the URLs? We are building a mobile UI and it should have more limited functionalities so that the same pages should eb visited by the same users with different skins depending if the device is a mobile or not. thanks for hints. Paul
