Description

We need to start working on providing a number of default interface controls & style elements for XWiki applications. A good way to start working on this is by improving a current XWiki application and making the controls we build for it generic. The Blog application would be a good fit for this work.

Indeed, the blog is a typical XWiki application:

• It requires a creation form to create new articles
• It lists existing items with a custom display
• A blog post has its specific page with a custom look
• Blog posts can be edited as forms (inline mode)

Thus improving the Blog Application could lead to building nice displayers that could be used for other applications.

Stuff to improve

• Creating a new blog post
  • Step 1 -> create the page
  • Step 2 -> fill in the fields
• Edit / view a blog post
  • Look of the blog post page
