Which is not part of the interface. Thus I'm even more tempted to say that we shouldn't link to the xwiki.org in the interface as much as possible. This is why I created that syntax page inside XE and not pointing to xwiki.org BTW. >> The risk is that it's going to be very easy to break the link when we >> reorganize documentation and that it requires internet connection. > > About reorg I could point to the main page of the Admin guide which is > less likely to change. > I'm not sure that the need for an internet connection is a show > stopper, we should continue to allow ourselves to point to external > urls from the default wiki imho (to point to documentation). I think it's a bit of a pain for users and again it's going to break in the future for sure. I can guarantee it (already happened in the past). > note: which reminds me that we must remove the xwiki.org RSS feed from > XWiki.Admin profile, since it _blocks_ page rendering when > disconnected > >> The alternative could be to have a tooltip with the format defined in >> there. > > I think a tooltip might be a little small to display info about date > formatting. I didn't mean tooltip in the literal sense. I meant a Help icon (question mark) and when you click on it it displays help (in a popup dialog box for ex) or by inserting some HTML content inside the page (as Hudson is doing). Would be good to generalize this to all elements in the preferences for example.
