How about having Sandbox.WebHome *only* be an index into viewing and editing a bunch of separate "canned" docs which pre-populate the Sandbox space and are included with the XE XAR. The sandbox space would contain small, stand-alone examples of 2.0 wiki-code, 2.0 velocity-code, and 2.0 groovy-code. These could be selected from "best demonstration of a xwiki concept/feature" snippets on xwiki.org website, and/or solicited from the community in a "competition" with a deadline prior to the 2.0 final release. Sandbox.WebHome would only contain an index into these "snippets", with special links to help novices go to the correct editor: (1) doc view link -- /xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/<snippetname> (*) (2) for wysiwyg demos (edit table, edit list, fonting, etc), a link to wysywig edit -- /xwiki/bin/edit/Sandbox/<snippetname>?editor=wysiwyg (3) for programing demos, a link to wiki edit -- /xwiki/bin/edit/Sandbox/<snippetname>?editor=wiki (4) for wiki-macro bridge or JSX/SSX demos, link to object edit -- /xwiki/bin/edit/Sandbox/<snippetname>?editor=object (5) for Class demos, link to class edit -- /xwiki/bin/edit/Sandbox/<snippetname>?editor=class
(*): view link should also contain a link back to the original doc as well as viewing original source-code, although this will be problematic for edited objects, which don't track reverts or revision references of main doc. Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: For example, http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2009-August/013940.html is a good basis for two of these mini-examples-demonstrating-a-concept: (1) wiki-macro bridge with groovy, (2) 2.0 groovy example. (1) from "XWiki.WikiMacroClass WikiMacroClass 0: weather_by_zip : {{script language=groovy}} def rss = new XmlSlurper().parseText((" http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p="; + xcontext.macro.params.zip).toURL().text) println rss.channel.title println "Sunrise: ${rss.channel.astrono...@sunrise}" println "Sunset: ${rss.channel.astrono...@sunset}" println "Currently:" println "\t" + rss.channel.item.conditi...@date println "\t" + rss.channel.item.conditi...@temp println "\t" + rss.channel.item.conditi...@text {{/script}} (2) 2.0 document demonstrating groovy scripting and parametrization w/o macro-bridge: == Groovy Example From [[IBM DeveloperWorks>> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-pg05199/index.html]]== Note: correct usage requres {{code}}request.zip{{/code}} parameter, e.g [[92625>>Main.GroovyTest3?zip=92625]] [[92660>>Main.GroovyTest3?zip=92660]] [[10001>>Main.GroovyTest3?zip=10001]]... {{groovy}} def rss = new XmlSlurper().parseText((" http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p="; + request.zip).toURL().text) println rss.channel.title println "Sunrise: ${rss.channel.astrono...@sunrise}" println "Sunset: ${rss.channel.astrono...@sunset}" println "Currently:" println "\t" + rss.channel.item.conditi...@date println "\t" + rss.channel.item.conditi...@temp println "\t" + rss.channel.item.conditi...@text {{/groovy}} _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
