  • Jérôme:
  • Fabio (I will focus on XEclipse but other ideas could be interesting if somebody is willing to try emoticon_smile) :
    • XEclipse revamp + release
      • Integrating and polishing REST backend
      • Use the new E4 platform (just released with Juno) and leverage new E4 features such as dependency injection and global event bus to simplify code and components (a 3.x compatibility layer will be used in order to make XEclipse UI components usable in the workbench)
      • Use Xtext for generating editors and all the associated features such as autocompletion, etc.
    • Adding Clojure as a supported language in page scripts
  • Thomas (just ideas, not sure on what I want to work on yet)
    • light LDAP client to LDAP admin UI (i.e. validate everything we put in the LDAP admin UI on the fly and make suggestions)
    • velocity debugging in XWiki: open a popup with the source of the currently executed velocity and allow to pause, examine the velocity context, step by step etc. (need to check if velocity have the require hook to do step by step first) +1 ludovic
    • extension repository handler for Pypi (http://pypi.python.org/pypi). The idea is to make easy to install a Python library.
    • JMX based UI to setup log (enable/disable some log from the wiki without restarting it)
    • continue work on wiki stream (priority is database importer module)
  • Sergiu
    • A lot of PDF export improvements
