As I said, it’s fine, it’s up to you. > Also, I am not able to think of how will I use this component in taking > glossary items from the glossary space.

I don’t understand what you mean. If you’re asking how to find glossary items, you’ll use the Query module for that: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Query%20Module > Some hints required......... > Rest of the things like scanning the wiki pages and creating links to the > glossary items will not be that difficult I suppose. You won’t need to scan anything, that already exists and the page content is exposed as a XDOM object. Creating links is easy indeed.
