6 -* The user enters his credentials.
7 -* If authenticated, he is redirected to the dashboard.
8 -* The user navigates to the page he wishes to edit.
9 -* He selects the edit option and if he's an advanced user, he sees the Blockly editor and selects it
5 +* Add a Blockly editor to the list of available editors (Wiki, WYSIWYG, etc) so that users can edit a page using the Blockly editor
6 +* Ability to define the Blockly editor as the default editor in the Admin and in the user’s profile
10 10  * The Blockly editor contains various blocks for performing common XWiki scripting actions
11 -* The user selects the appropriate blocks which show up as code on the side div
12 -* Once the user is done with the scripting, he clicks on the save and continue button
13 -* He is then redirected and is able to view his changes.
8 +* Ability to generate any scripting language output when saving the page, and starting with Velocity.
9 +* Ability to convert scripts writing in any scripting language into a visual Blockly view, starting with Velocity. This needs to be explored and if this is not possible then it means saving the Blockly data into a XObject of the pages and offering a custom Edit Sheet to use that when editing the page with the Blockly Editor.
10 +* Provide several Blocks by default that allow to do things in XWiki. Review common actions that need to be done in scripting and offer blocks for them. For example: Ability to write XWQL queries to return a list of pages and ability to execute actions on them: replace content, copy, rename, delete. Send email. Etc
11 +* Add ability for developers to create/edit new Blockly Blocks inside wiki pages. All the provided blocks by default should be using this strategy so they can be modified.
