[xwiki-users] XWiki Features survey for the 6.x cycle
Hi, In 2009 and 2012 the xwiki.org project launched some surveys about features to have in XWiki in priority: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures2009 (results at: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/FeatureStatus20120119 ) http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures2012 (results at: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/FeatureSurveyResult201204 ) I thought it would be nice to launch a similar survey in 2013 in order to give the project some information to prepare the XWiki 6.x roadmap. The survey is available at: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures2013 It would be great if you could help by filling in the survey by January 31. The results will be published on xwiki.org and shared with the XWiki committers list at the beginning of February.

Re: [xwiki-users] Macro for related pages or sons pages or see also

Re: [xwiki-users] how to let my new panel displayed on the right of the page?
Hi! There is a high probability you only added the panel for the Panels space and not the whole wiki. You need to make sure you go to the Wiki Administration and add it from there: * Hover the wiki menu and click on Administer Wiki * Click Look Feel * Click Panel Wizard * Drag and drop the panel * Click Save the new layout * Go to the wiki homepage and check if the panel appears. You can also check that the page layout is set to Right column: * Hover the wiki menu and click on Administer Wiki * Click Look Feel * Click Panel Wizard * Click on the Page Layout tab and check that Right column is selected. Please let us know if this works. Silvia On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 1:42 PM, Guofeng Zhang guof...@avaya.com wrote: Hi, I create a new panel. Now I want it to be displayed on the right of pages.

[xwiki-users] [Proposal] Improving the Product Documentation and Getting Started pages
Hi, Caty and Vincent are doing a very nice job improving xwiki.org's look and navigation. I think improving a bit the content is also a good idea, so I have a few proposals in this direction. * Improving the Documentation landing page, available from the website menu (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ProductDocumentation). Here is a proposal with some small additions: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/DocumentationImprovedHomepage * Improving the Getting Started guide's WebHome (http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/WebHome). Draft proposal at: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/GettingStartedPage * We could also use the Getting Started page proposed above on XWiki Enterprise (the product). This would be a page inside the wiki (e.g. like the Sandbox or Syntax pages) which would be linked from the wiki Homepage. It could be helpful to wiki users who don't know where to look for information. Waiting for your feedback and votes.

In order to speed up the process we also created a development wiki http://newxwiki.xwiki.org/ where you can log in with your xwiki.org credentials and work on the improvements you want to make. After the work is finished it will be ported to xwiki.org. This way you can experiment the way your code looks like and behaves without interfering with the live site. Also me and Silvia created a planning for the development of the new site http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgPlanning and we have split it into 4 stages. We are currently in Stage 1 of the development. Each entry has it own link with more information/mockups/code about the feature. Also features that have been started have also a JIRA issue attached to them. We would be very happy if the community could get involved in helping us making this happen. We still need work on deciding the content for some sections, we need better design proposals for some elements and we need lots of implementation work to make everything a reality. If you want to participate you should pick something from the planning and announce it on this thread so that we know what feature is taking care of.

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Turn comments into major events
Hi, +1. Silvia Pe 10.11.2010 15:35, Guillaume Lerouge a scris: Hi XWiki Devs, I've been performing some XWiki demos recently and it came to my attention that when adding a comment to a page and then going back to the homepage, my comments didn't show up in the recent activity section of the dashboard. This is due to the fact that adding a comment is considered a minor event. This behavior is still taking place in the most recent versions of XWiki Enterprise (I tested a XE 2.7 snapshot this morning). I believe that comments should be treated as major events, the same way that adding an object or an annotation to a page is. Therefore I propose making adding a comment a major event instead of a minor one. Here's my +1 for this.

[xwiki-users] Implementing the XWiki.org Redesign
Hi XWiki devs users, So far we've been talking a lot about redesigning XWiki.org and all feedback was greatly appreciated. Now it's time we started implementing the redesign Caty was so kind to come up with based on our suggestions. Like the proposal stage this too will be a collaborative effort and we hope you'll join in building an even better site for XWiki.org. The following is a list of things that need to be implemented in order to get us started. It would be great if you'd volunteer for the implementation of the tasks at hand. Please add your name next to the issue you'd like to assign yourself too. Also feel free to add as many other issues you think should appear on the list and to volunteer for those issues as well. Here is the first list of tasks: * Set up the server for the new website (Alex? :) ) * Add the horizontal navigation to the new website * Implement the projects carousel for the homepage * Implement the panels for Latest Releases, Latest Extensions. Latest News(should display the latest 5 releases, extensions, news) Documentation/Projects * Implement the left navigation for documentation/projects * Implement the panel for the Latest Documentation Updates (should display the last 5 documents and their authors) Community page widgets and panels: * Implement theDevelopment Status panel, if it's going to have dynamic content * Implement the Top Committers panel (show the committer's picture and number of commits) * Implement the Latest Commits section (should display an image of the committer, what (s)he commited, the name of the committer and the date the commit was made) * Implement the Latest Issues section (should have the latest Jira issues, the person who took an action with regard to the issue - e.g. create, close - and the time the action was taken) * Implement the Latest Discussion section (display the list, the topic discussed, the name of the person that added the latest reply and the time he added the answer) * Implement the Latest Documentation section (show the number of lines added/deleted, the name of the document, the author of the modification and the time (s)he made the changes) * Implement Latest Extensions section (display the extension name, the name of the person that added the extension, the time it was added and a short description) You may read what has already been discussed about the redesign on this page http://markmail.org/message/tfmrludhw2yh5tcn#query:+page:1+mid:h5bukrijteeuklgq+state:results See the latest redesign proposal here http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2 Thanks, Silvia ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[xwiki-users] [Proposal] Improving the User Guide documentation
Hello, I would like to propose we update the User Guide documentation so that it's more helpful to users that start using XWiki, whether they are programmers or not. The purpose of the guide is to get users up to speed with the XWiki basics, to gather these resources in one place. You can find my proposal for the user guide here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/UserGuide Please feel free to make suggestions for other pages to be included or changes you think should be made.

Remember this is not a TOC for all the documentation, but rather a selection of links to help you get started with XWiki. Good start! It's cool that you're working on this, we absolutely need it :) Some feedback: * It doesn't feel like a guide right now. It seems to be a collection of links to other places. Personally I like that because it avoids duplication. However I wonder what will first time users think. It probably makes it hard for them to read. Also the current getting started guide from Guillaume (which would disappear as a consequence) has a lot more texts and explanations that need to be reintegrated in the user guide. I think the collection of links makes it easier for users to spot the documentation they are interested in. I agree that Guillaume's Getting Started guide needs to be reintegrated in the user guide as much as possible. As a consequence I've added links to part of the pages. Other issues however, like managing user groups, are better described in the platform documentation (more information, screenshots), so I preferred adding a link to those resources instead. If the Getting Started pages will be removed altogether I can copy their content to different pages and set the User Guide as their parent. I'll also include more screenshots. * It's missing an overall TOC I added the TOC at the XWiki Basics level, but this can easily be changed. * I only see XWiki Basics but this guide is supposed to be a full guide to all features. Is it simply because it's not finished? How would you organize the rest? My initial idea was for the guide to provide links to part of the documentation. This would be the pages that are most necessary when starting with XWiki and that don't require programming or advanced admin skills to understand. (Hence This is not a TOC for all the documentation, but rather a selection of links to help you get started with XWiki. in the first email). I've extended the invitation for users to visit the Developer Administrator's Guides to further their skills and get a deeper understanding of XWiki. This way Getting started is interpreted not necessarily as the first steps to take with XWiki, but rather as mastering the basics of working with XWiki, with the possibility of enhancing your skills as you read the rest of the documentation. Should we add links to all our existing resources I think the User Guide may get too crowded and users with no significant coding experience may have trouble understanding it. WDYT? * I think you need the guide to start with a single page that is a TOC and have more separate pages. This will come naturally as a consequence of adding more explanations/texts to the each section (see first point above). The idea behind the User Guide page was that of a TOC (this is why it looks more like a collection of links). The small pieces of text are there to put the links in context, so that they make sense when seeing them for the first time. I agree with the having more separate pages. While in some sections the existing documentation is enough, for other areas we could add a lot more details to make things clear. This is the case of the blog for example (which is not yet included) for which there will be a separate guide. After the blog guide is ready there will be of course a link to it from the User Guide. The same goes for the WYSIWYG editor. This can be also done for other sections if users consider the existing documentation is not clear/descriptive enough. * The guide needs a lot more screenshots IMO. There should be screenshots everywhere. Remember that an image is worth a thousand words ;) I think we should avoid having images on the User Guide's main page (the one in Drafts) since this page's role is that of a TOC. I agree with having many screenshots in the sub-guides (e.g. the blog and wysiwyg guides, the new pages resulting from the old Getting Started guide) Thanks -Vincent Thanks, Silvia ___ users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users View message @ http://n2.nabble.com/Proposal-Improving-the-User-Guide-documentation-tp4653338p4653388.html To unsubscribe from [Proposal] Improving the User Guide documentation, click here
Re: [xwiki-users] [Proposal] Improving the User Guide documentation
Hi, After reading all your emails I think the best solution is having both a guide for first time users and a complete guide to all XWiki features: - The Getting Started page can become the draft included in this email - The User Guide could be a TOC of all existing resources as Vincent suggested. This way both experienced and unexperienced users are happy: - First time users can discover XWiki one step at a time with the help of the Getting Started page - Experienced users don't have to look for information through the different wikis and can instead go to the User Guide TOC. Smaller guides will be made as suggested in the previous email for the blog, wysiwyg, etc. These will be linked from both the Getting Started page and the User Guide.

[xwiki-users] Hello to the XWiki community
Hi, I am Silvia Rusu (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/SilviaRusu) and I have joined the XWiki Iasi team this week as a tester and documentation writer. As a tester my role will be to uncover any issues and inconsistencies that might affect the products you love developing/using. I will also be talking to our project managers, product manager and mailing list users in order to find out more about our customers expectations and needs. Taking this into consideration I will come up with suggestions on how to improve user experience. As a documentation writer I will make sure users who aren't familiar with XWiki discover what the products do in order to take advantage of their features. In the process I will be making sure all user-facing features are well documented on XWIki.org, writing user guides, creating videos explaining how to use features, etc. I am happy to be joining XWiki and hope this will develop into a very successful collaboration. You can find me online on Twitter at http://twitter.com/silviarusu. Should you have any suggestions regarding testing and documentation please feel free to contact me by email at silvia.r...@xwiki.com.
