I've had a talk yesterday with Ludovic and others and we think we need to start again working on the WYSIWYG editor since it's really important. However since the editor depends on the underlying rendering mechanism the idea would be to work only on the UI part for now so as to be prepared when the new rendering is done. In term of priorities, I think you should finish first the Stats features you're working on first and then move on to this if that's ok with you. > 2.

It's far less advanced than I had initially thought (basically it's only interfaces right now, even the parsers are not finished, and there are no listeners written for XHTML, etc). This is why I started looking at Doxia. My take is that the only interesting solution for xwiki is if WikiModel could join Doxia (which is more advanced and has more active contributors). I'm waiting for Mikhail's decision on this. The Doxia team would be happy to embrace his donation of wikimodel to Apache. On my side, I've started playing with Doxia and I've started a XWiki sink which allows converting from any doxia supported syntax to XWiki (Confluence, TWiki, etc). I'm going to continue working on this since 1) it allows me to know the state of Doxia better and 2) it's useful for us to have these conversion tools. I also need to send a new summary email to see how the suggested architecrture for the new XWiki rendering mechanism would work with Doxia. I believe it would work exactly in the same manner as with wikimodel though since they're very similar in their APIs. Thus the following step for me is to create a xwiki-rendering module in the core to start the rendering interfaces and the mapping to Doxia/ Wikimodel. Unfortunately I'm busy on stuff for Javapolis (new xwiki.org web site + 1.2 release) and I'm working on this on a best effort basis. I shall be able to progress much faster after JP. > 3.

See > http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-37 for more details. Could you provide more details on this? Some questions: 1) Could you show us the UI part of what you're designing or what you're planning to implement? Maybe you could also ask Laurent Lunati for his help on the design part? 2) Does your work require any change to the XWiki Platform Core? Or is it just changes at the application level (XAR)? If there are changes in the core what are the? 3) What is your target date for finishing this task? We need to plan in which version we can have it (and we need it sooner rather than later ;)). Thanks Marius for this feedback and the work you're doing! -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
