Forwarding the email I received from Len Wanger (Len, I hope you don't mind by the way) since I think he missed the reply-to-all button ;-) See my questions below:
-----------8<----------- Thanks for soliciting feedback. I don’t understand most of the tasks listed well enough to comment. There are a handful of things that I think would be very helpful: - Improve WYSIWYG editor speed. I am running into speed problems in the WYSISYG editor. When I type there is often 10-15 seconds of lag between when I type a key and when it shows up on the screen. This makes it very difficult to edit large sections of text. -> Which browser are you using? We'd be glad to try fixing those speed issues but we need to know more about your environment first. - Internet Explorer 8 testing. - Documentation – update and beef up the documentation (all 3 sections - user, admin, and developer.) some items that would be very useful to integrate in although may be post-2.0: - Add a tree for picking documents in import and export. For instance it would be very helpful to be able to specify to import an individual space. There may be an add-in for this, but it would be useful to have in the main build. -> That would be a part of the Application Manager I think. - A skin for mobile usage. With the proliferation of small-screen devices (MIDs, iPhones, Android phones, etc.), it would be useful to have a format to view XWiki content on these devices (CSS entry?). -> We started working on an iPhone skin but it's not ready for production yet. That's an area where I'd be glad to see community members come up with prototypes as it's obviously going to be an area where a lot of innovation can be expected in the coming years. Plus we always want to clean and integrate existing patches, so it will push us towards that goal ;-) - Long-term I think it would be interesting to add work flow functionality to XWiki. The ability to define rules-based workflow and notify users of items requiring their attention would be very interesting. -> See Vincent's answer to Richard remark about workflow earlier in the thread. The good news is that I’m a very happy XWiki user. The system has been very stable for me and I’m very happy with the continued development on the project. The new WYSIWYG editor, new WIKI syntax, and WebDAV have been great additions! -> Great news, thanks for the feedback :-) Regards, Len Wanger ----------->8----------------- Guillaume On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 10:57 AM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Jun 16, 2009, at 10:15 AM, Vincent Massol wrote: > > > Hi Richard, > > > > On Jun 16, 2009, at 9:31 AM, goldring, richard wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> Maybe not in the next build, but: > >> > >> * more wysiwyg page layout tools (instead of hand coding css) would > >> be good > >> to enable users to rapidly and quickly knock up good looking pages, > > > > I think this could be solved with the new 2.0 macros we're planning > > to add: > > - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2965 > > - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2963 > > - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2966 > > - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1689 > > > > WDYT? > > > >> * also better table creating/editing (resizing, etc) and formatting > >> (grid > >> lines hidden/shown) would also be good. > > > > ok > > > >> > >> * facility to email in content (text, images, rich text, word/open > >> docs, > >> etc) to automatically create wiki pages would be good (think can do > >> in > >> Confluence?) > > > > Yes that would be handy.
