Hi Vincent, I changed the name of the project to XFS as you proposed and move the Github repo to the new name [1]. I hope it'll be fine for 'xwiki-contrib'.
I was not aware about the attempt of Fabio but I was aware of Caleb's one and already used it in some project. Him and me discussed a few times the nice parts about its tools and some of the problems he had. XFS is clearly inspired from this solution proposed by Caleb except that I tried to be closer from the technologies used in XWiki (Maven, Java, Filter Module, XWiki XML Schema of REST API). PS: I've updated the page you gave [2] with links for Caleb's solution.
