Hi devs, I recently made a XWiki Explorer based on jstree (http://jstree.com/). Actually it was made to use outside of xwiki. I made a XWiki Macro out of it, it's pretty basic, but it has potential for extension. If you think it could be useful for the community, I would like to contribute that (under http://github.com/xwiki-contrib?). Maybe there will come up some ideas for improvement.
