Hi Vincent, As the coding period begins tomorrow officially, so I will need a repo in xwiki-contrib. :)
Also, will my general workflow be like: - making changes inside XWiki(xwiki instance). - Exporting those changes. (XML files will be generated) - Adding those files to GitHub Repo. - Doing regular commits to Github repo. Secondly, I had a doubt that, if I want to customize a page using CSS/Javascript. What is the correct way of doing that? I mean, whether I create objects(jsx/jsfx and ssx) on the same page as Glossary app home page(if I want to add styles to Glossary home page) or make separate pages for them. I saw the blog app and there it is created separately. Also, I wanted to enquire if there is some naming convention while creating different pages, or I should name them suitably.(Yes, those names can be changed later :P). > * Have a “Add Glossary Entry” button and text field to add a new entry. IMO, "Add Glossary Entry" button will vanish the 'context' thing because glossary will for the items/words on different pages of XWiki. How can a user enter a glossary entry if he doesn't know the source? :) (Just like annotations). So, I think, it shouldn't be there. WDYT? Little Guidance required. Thanks :) Sarthak On Mon, May 29, 2017 at 5:35 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sarthak, > > > On 26 May 2017, at 16:36, Sarthak Gupta <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > Hi everyone, > > I would be working on the proposal 'Glossary Application' in the coming > > days.
