Currently, Watch can read any mail archive that is published through an RSS so it can integrate content from mails provided that there is an intermediary tool to do this 'translation'. As for directly reading a mailbox and a mail archive, here's how we could do it: apart from the feed reader plugin, we can have a mailreader plugin to handle this job (and just the same, a lot of other reader plugins to handle various types of content). It seems the right way of adding extra content fetching powers to Watch so this is, in the end, not a Watch specific job but more like a plugins one. Having Watch read emails and giving the user the possibility of 'mailing' content to Watch sounds like a good feature... > > Anyway more discussions would be needed to decide whether that application > would be worth making it into XE 1.4 (though I'd be glad to have it). > > Here is some additional feedback I gathered : > > - *Migration* > - Make the migration between 2 versions of XWiki even easier > than it is now (some bugs remain, making upgrades a chore on many > occasions). > - *Applications* > - Remove unfinished applications (such as the calendar & the > photo album) from the default distribution and put them as XARs on > XWiki.org instead > - *Translations* > - Replace all text in the default wiki with $msg.get() calls and > update the translation file to include EN & FR translations for > all of them. > - *Administration* > - Add a select box to the language selection field > - Add explanations next to each field to explain what they do > - Groups : add a button "Add a member to this group" on group > pages (below the list of group members) > - *Space Administration* > - Add the ability to customize the color of a space easily in > Toucan > - Add the possibility to use the Panel Wizard for a space > - *Autosuggest* > - Generalize the autosuggest feature to most input fields on the > wiki > > I'll try to post some more once I've received it. > > Guillaume > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users@xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users > _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
