by Guillaume Lerouge 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi XWiki Devs & Users, It's roadmap time again! Based on the previous roadmap, feedback on the lists and the results of the survey we conducted (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/Features+Survey+Results ), here's a list of stuff we might want to work on in the XE 2.1 timeframe which will last approximately until December 2009: IMPROVEMENTS On top of the usual bugfix work, here's a list of improvements we might want to bring in the course of the release in order to stabilize the 2. branch as much as we can: - Colibri skin - Clean the skin so that it's no longer a pile of code added on top of Toucan - Improve the ColorTheme page (theme catalog, theme creation) - WYSIWYG editor - Test and improve IE8 compatibility - Test and improve Chrome / Safari compatibility - Add more translations - Rendering - Internationalize - Add translations - Conversion to 2.0 syntax - XAR 2.0 (notably Blog & Panels) - Office importer - The application shouldn't be displayed when the office server is not running - Wiki macros - Textarea should be larger - Importer - Make the import create new versions of existing pages instead of overwriting them - *Search (one of the most asked for features in the survey)* - Fix the bugs with our Lucene Search implementation to make it the default one - Finish implementing the new search UI - Performance (one of the most asked for features in the survey) - Clean and apply Denis Gervalle's patch related to attachment upload memory handling - Clean and apply Caleb James DeLisle's patch related to document loading - Keep working on making the skin lighter - Other? - User Profile UI - Improve the watchlist UI - Make the user profile look clearer NEW FEATURES We won't have the time to work on all of them, but here's a list of new features we might want to consider working on: - Skin -> revamp / move the action bar - CAPTCHA Integration -> make CAPTCHAS available on login / comments - Application Manager -> create applications descriptors, ability to version applications - Document Type Manager -> make XClass & application creation easy through a nicer UI - Invitation Manager -> make it easier to add users to the wiki (send an email allowing account creation) - Multipage Management tools -> create and export lists of pages Feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thanks, Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype: wikibc Twitter: glerouge http://guillaumelerouge.com/

[xwiki-users] Query Regarding Data Model
by Eric Domeshek 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi There, I'm starting to explore use of XWiki for a project where we want to provide a domain-specific semi-structured wiki which seems like it ought to be a good fit to XWiki's intended usage. However, we're having a bit of trouble getting started understanding what can and can't easily be captured in the XWiki data model. Specifically: 1- What is the recommended way to specify object fields that contain references to other XWiki objects? 2- What is the recommended way to specify object fields that contain references to non-XWiki plain old Java objects? 3- Is there a standard way to define fields as holding ordered/unordered lists/sets of objects as opposed to single objects? 4- Assuming we can define models that allow for these sorts of things, are there easy/standard ways to display such fields contents, as well as ways for end-users to specify fillers (e.g. list/tree pickers of existing objects of the desired type)? --Eric ========================================================================= Eric Domeshek Phone: 617-902-2223 AI Project Manager Fax: 617-902-2225 Stottler Henke Associates, Inc.

[xwiki-users] Browse button in a macro
by Rieken, Joshua 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Greetings, I would like to add a "Browse..." button to a macro like the one in the Image dialogue that lets the users choose a directory. Is there a way to do this using macros in wiki pages, or do I need to write Java? Thanks. -Joshua-
