Hello devs, Here's a proposal for a new maven mojo based on the xmldoc-update tool (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XTXMLDOC). The objective would be to :
1. Sanitize XML docs : * Force creator, author and contentAuthor to "XWiki.Admin" * Foce version to 1.1 * Maybe check the language and translation fields (although, there is less reasons for those to be wrong) * Force creationDate, contentUpdateDate, date (+ see below) 2. Control the order we want for the doc list appearing on the "Recent Changes" UI (on the wiki home page, one of the first thing users see) on fresh distributions, by forcing modification dates to desired values so that the list reflects what we want to appear here. There are several approaches to do 2), I thought about the following : By default, we force all documents to 00:00 on the current day. For documents we want to appear up in the list, we specify them a priority in the build configuration, for example on a scale of 1 to 100, 100 being the top priority. When forcing the date with the mojo, we add X * N units of time to 00:00, where X is the priority and N is for example 1 second. If all the document modification dates span maximum 100 seconds starting at 00:00, there's close to zero risk to run a wiki with modification in the future (which would make a document modified for real before this future becomes present not appear on top of the list). A constraint to keep in mind : Wiki docs are spread accross applications. I don't think we want to necessarily release all applications when releasing XE, so this should ideally happen in XE's wiki module build. The drawback would be that if we want to give priority to pages that are in applications, we reference files from other modules, which is not clean. The alternative is to give priority to documents in the module they are hosted, and release all applications every time we release XE. WDYT ?
