Hi Paul, as Ludovic said, at the seminar we had some brainstorming about this. To make things advance I wrote a first attempt at something that should be usable: XWikiFS - https://github.com/fmancinelli/xwikifs
It basically parses a directory structure and builds a XAR from it. I used "enhanced" YAML files for laying out stuff. This enhancement consists in the use of "references" that allows you to externalize content. For example in the YAML describing the page content https://github.com/fmancinelli/xwikifs/blob/master/src/test/resources/Main.WebHome/document.xwd you have a "-> content.xwiki" saying that the actual content is in the content.xwiki file. This allows to keep and organize things better (e.g. for textarea object fields) There's this classinfo directory that contains the class file descriptions for the classes used in the objects. It's there because this information is needed in the XAR. If someone knows how to build a XAR with objects without including (redundant) class information it would be great (and we could get rid of this directory as well). The idea is that we can "monitor" the XWikiFS for changes and automatically upload them to the main wiki (handling the merging) and viceversa. It's a first iteration, so if you have any comments don't hesitate.
