[xwiki-users] evaluation questions: sorted document tree; XOO; other topics
hi - I'm one of the stranded former users of the free hosted service wik.is which mindtouch precipitously cancelled, forcing all users to either go to one of their paid plans (which don't match my usage), or leave. I'm going to host it myself this time, and have been looking through the alternatives. I'm attracted to xwiki for several reasons: full ACL support; ldap authentication; good open source license without a bunch of proprietary features; Balsamiq and Word integrations; wysiwyg editing; and strong REST api. From my first glance I do still have some reservations: 1. One concern is convenient maintenance of sorted children. I see that in xwiki's own documentation wiki, this isn't done: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ is just maintained manually as an index page. As far as I can tell, by default children are just sorted by creation order. With the http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/DocumentTreePlugin they can instead be sorted by name. Lastly, there is http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/SortedDocumentTreePlugin But I really don't understand the instructions for importing a class to get an additional sortable attribute. Also I don't know if these plugins support sort order of spaces too, or not. Ideally, however it is done, when a page is created, the form would have not only the page title and parent title, but a place for an optional sort value. 2. I'd like to be able to export an entire space as a big PDF. I can't tell if this plugin will do that: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/PDFExportPanelApplication For example, suppose I wanted the whol xwiki AdminGuide as a single PDF, what would I do? 3. I'd like a real bare bones look -- even slimmer than Confluence or MediaWiki, and both of those are a little less cluttered than the Toucan skin. I'm not finding any example skins that are like that. 4. I like the idea of supporting office app clients. But it seems there is some clumsiness with XOffice specifying a parent: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XOFFICE-243 And I can't find any documentation on editing/creating content from OpenOffice and/or via any webdav client. Things like URL conventions, etc. This page http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Architecture mentions XOO (Xwiki OpenOffice) but there is nothing else about it: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Search?text=XOOwikinames=space= 5. I might be blind but I can't find any documentation for the blogging support. 6. The page http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/ says Components are preferred over plugins but the link to Components goes nowhere. In general the documentation wiki is pretty confusing. The Enterprise docs link to basically all the same places as the platform docs. There seems to be a mixture of information that is years out of date and information about ideas not yet implemented. Sadly it is an example of the dangers of using a wiki :(. -mda ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Eric Tse wrote: Cool cool. Am I able to customize it enough so it looks like an actual website and not a wiki? (Wikipedia style) - Eric Yes. Please, check this simple examples... http://ebiotic.net There are panels with titles and contents from which you can guess a wiki is behind the scene, but all these contents are easily customizable. No register button, no history, comments or annotations panels accessible from the main page. No create new page or edit the current one buttons. All that features will be shown only after user authentication. And, some of them, only for a given set of users. Yes, the portal is based on the wiki concept, but wiki features are so obvious as the administrator/designer decides. An a la Wikipedia skin is among the wanted skins for some users. But consider that even Wikipedia shows Discussion, History and Source before you login. That is easly hidden when using XWiki.

I'm not able to compare the use of flat-files vs RDBMS (SQL is just the standard language that allows you to query such databases). BUT, once again, don't forget that XWiki is more than a wiki. It uses a RDBMS to hold a complex object-oriented structure. You can also use its SQL plugin to query local or remote RDBMS tables, but also can its API methods to design complex queries using HQL (Hibernate Query Language) or XWQL (XWiki Query Language) More: each XWiki document could be considered a database on its own! It could be composed of an unlimited number of objects + plain or more or less structured text. Sticks with XWiki and won't only create a classical, fast and full featured wiki but discover a full and funny universe of great possibilities.

The main idea is to have a mechanism for users to broadcast messages concerning their activities. The key use cases for this are: 1) Fast communication between enterprise members which can replace IMs and mails with user status 1.1) Communicate what you are working on Obvious, +1. 1.2) Quick question answering and feedback gathering You mean something like: BigBoss says: How do we get through the crisis? Jimmy says: @BigBoss reduce costs! Mike says: @BigBoss sell more! And: Jimmy says: @Timmy where can I get a W80 form? Timmy says: @Jimmy room 404 1.3) Interesting material dissemination You mean link sharing? 2) Focused discussions about a given topic I'm not sure this is the best way to communicate. It might work if it behaves a bit like instant messaging, with updates being refreshed in real time. Also, for it to make sense as a discussion, it should be threaded. So this starts to look like Google Wave, which somehow failed. It might work in an intranet, but still it would diverge too much from a simple status update, and I'm not sure how it can be integrated nicely inside the current Activity UI (nor the implementation, but that's not critical). 3) Fast communication with external clients to keep them up-to-date I'm not sure I get this. Isn't an *intra*net supposed to be internal, inaccessible to external parties? Do you mean closed group messages, visible only in a given space? In order to realize these use cases we need something that resembles to Facebook's Wall or, if we look at more enterprise oriented products, to SalesForce chatter (http://www.salesforce.com/chatter) This is getting too far from the initial ideas. It was supposed to be integrated in the recent activity, as little user messages mixed among wiki activity. Now it looks like the main goal is user communication, with wiki activity on the second place. Going the Chatter way would imply many changes in the ActivityStream implementation, the {{activity}} macro, and the Recent Activity UI. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to go there, I'm only asking if we want to do it as the User Statuses sub-feature inside the Activity feature. In particular: 1) The feature should be implemented as an internal subsystem that takes advantage of the Wiki underlying model for exposing information That's always the case. 1.1) User status can contain reference to Wiki entities (i.e., page, attachments, comments) and external links. As Jerome said in a previous email, this is key. An autocompletion mechanism could help making this feature more usable. The full wiki syntax might be available, which includes links to documents/attachment. If we do that, then should the WYSIWYG be displayed as well? 1.2) I am not sure that we need to provide an upload mechanism to associate an artifact to a user status. Linking an attachment in a Wiki page is sufficient in my opinion. +1 for links to existing data only. We could provide a notify this checkbox in the edit/upload UI. 2) It should be possible to define one or more neighborhoods, i.e., people that will receive our status updates We could have activities for a space, and activities for a group. This means that in the group UI we could integrate a say something widget. Another idea is a panel which allows you to specify where to post the update: global (default), current space, specific space (with suggest), group of users (with suggest), specific user (with suggest). My fear is that the UI will be too complex, which increases the likelihood of users abandoning their update. If something takes too much to accomplish, or there are too many knobs to tinker with, then people will avoid that. 2.1) This is something that is more powerful wrt to what we have in Facebook because it would allow us to create different social-graphs that can be targeted when a user status is updated 3) It should be possible to comment on a status update (e.g., quick question answering and feedback gathering use case) Is a simple reply to this enough? 4) The user status are not tweets... I think that the number of character should be limited to a reasonable high threshold (e.g., 2048) The current activity stream allows for 2000 characters (which usually is rounded to something more), so this should be OK. 5) User statuses should be visible only to the users belonging to the neighborhood targeted by the status This can be done at the UI level, but it's going to be hard to protect it at the API level. We can do it if we change the activitystream plugin to expose more high level methods, like

Re: [xwiki-users] Remove a translation
Hello Ricardo, The document translations are stored separately. For example, if you export as XAR a document having multiple translations, you will notice that the XML files are named like this: DocName.xml (default language), DocName.en.xml, DocName.es.xml ... etc . This is why, in order to delete a document translation, you have to go on that document translated in the language that you want to remove (for example '.../view/SpaceName/PageName?language=en') and delete the document. The other translations (default and others) will not be deleted. You can check the comments of this Jira issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4932 . Raluca.

Thanks! The only exception I can think off that would help your usecase (but is not implemented) is to have additional special rights for the document Creator. Right now the creator gets DELETE right as an additional behavior. Maybe we should always grant VIEW and EDIT to the creator.

The following happened: 1. created space, with explicit rights on group 'GroupA' (this automatically locks out users who are not a member of this group) = ok 2. create/edit a page as user 'UserA', member of 'GroupA' = ok 3. UserA (owner/creator of the document) grants view rights to user 'UserB', NOT in GroupA = problems! Now the creator/owner of the document (UserA) can NOT view his own document anymore! Same for problem for every other user in 'GroupA'. I figured that this is correct from a certain point of view: an explicit view for a specific user locks out all other users, but that includes the owner and all other users, including those in 'GroupA', with correct rights at the space level. A possible solution is to grant GroupA explicitly at the same time you grant a specific user access to a certain page, but people will forget to do so. My question is: did we do anything wrong, and is it possible to manage the rights in a way that prevents this counter-intuitive behaviour? I have the feeling that the rights model lacks real-inheritance: when checking permissions for a user, it should return the permissions including that of the group as if it were his explicit permissions, also for pages that inherit rights from the space.

[xwiki-users] Attachments-RAM dependencies, anchors, TOC
Hi! Kindly ask you to solve some unclear topics: I. How can I find information about such dependencies: - How many server RAM memory is required for each 1GB of attachments? - The same for CPU. How to estimate this and calculate hardware? What are main principles? II. Is it possible to customise WYSIWYG editor separetly for each space in one sub-XWiki ? III. Is there any way to manage anchors from Links plugin in WYSIWYG editor? The logic is: - select space - select page - select anchor on this page - put the link For now, even if I write down XWiki.WebHome#anchor in the link field manually, I get #anchor cut out. And the only way to do it via source code editor manually. Then it works fine. Personally me found more or less suitable solution with FF plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/416/ It's very easy to get anchor, but not so easy to put it. For unqualified users it makes XWiki one-handed. IV. Is there any way to make TOC macro to build table of contents of several pages and put it on one page? For Example: toc Page1, Page2, Page3 It's very useful, when one can group all project highligts together in one TOC. I used to use Track Wiki, it works excellent in there. I suffer from it's absence now :-) Thank you Dmitry Bakbardin ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

The document translations are stored separately. For example, if you export as XAR a document having multiple translations, you will notice that the XML files are named like this: DocName.xml (default language), DocName.en.xml, DocName.es.xml ... etc . This is why, in order to delete a document translation, you have to go on that document translated in the language that you want to remove (for example '.../view/SpaceName/PageName?language=en') and delete the document. The other translations (default and others) will not be deleted. You can check the comments of this Jira issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4932 . Raluca.
