Hi James Xu, There are already some mockups done for the User Status feature about auto-completion (user, pages use cases) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/UserStatusProposal
but as you said the triggers can be expanded to other syntax elements like macros, etc. Thanks, Caty On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 20:06, 许凌志(Jamesxu) <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Marius Florea and Anca Luca: > > I am James Xu and I want to contribute to xwiki community through GSoc > project.
