Improve l10n.xwiki.org

• Thomas Mortagne

XWiki community maintain a wiki with a special application to help translation XWiki projects on. See http://l10n.xwiki.org. Sources can be found on https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-l10n.

The goal of this GSOC is to improve it. The student will have to study it and propose improvements, there is no definite list of things to do.

Various ideas:

• make all this a lot more dynamic
  • importing is a long task and you always get a timeout before it's finished (it's still continuing on the server so it's not broken but still). A progress bar could be nice (could be based on extensions:Extension.Job Module)
  • default translation edition table is not exactly the nicest UI you could think of (http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewall&language=fr)
• provide tools to refactor things a bit:
  • it's hard to move some translation from one space to another (for example the applicationresources on XE should be on Platform)

etc.

• mostly javascript and UI stuff in general
• experience with groovy ideally or at least java
