Re: [mylyn-dev] Mylyn WikiText - DokuWiki syntax contribution
|
Marcin,
I've brought this up with the team for reconsideration. We'd like to accommodate your request. With Mylyn's recent promotion to a top-level Eclipse project, it makes sense to change our policy around Wiki languages.
In the past we limited the languages directly supported by WikiText in order to avoid problems with resourcing and maintenance, however having contributions of this nature to WikiText has a lot of value. For WikiText users it broadens the applicability of the framework, ensures clean IP, and makes it easier to get everything in one place. For your project it will make it easier to keep DokuWiki in tune with the WikiText release cycle, get better code reuse, and have the credibility that comes from being associated with the Eclipse Foundation and Mylyn project.
To start the contribution process, create a bug at
bugs.eclipse.org and attach your contribution in the form of a patch. If a patch is not feasible, a zip file containing source files is adequate. Once the bug is created, file a CQ. The
IP process in cartoons can help you to understand the IP process at Eclipse. Once the CQ is approved we can apply the contribution.
I hope that this makes sense to you. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I look forward to working with you on the DokuWiki contribution.
Regards,
David

Marcin,
Thanks for your interest in contributing DokuWiki syntax to the Mylyn WikiText project. As you already know Mylyn WikiText is extensible and can support new wiki syntaxes quite easily. That said, it's not the intention of the Mylyn WikiText project to directly support every wiki syntax. It's expected that third parties will use Mylyn WikiText as a framework and add on extensions to support wiki syntaxes. Currently Mylyn WikiText supports syntaxes for which there is a corresponding Mylyn connector, and MediaWiki which is the backbone of EclipsePedia.
Ideally you can find a suitable home for the DokuWiki extension to WikiText. When you have, I'll be happy to link to it from our wiki page. You can also put an entry on the
Eclipse Marketplace so that it's easy for others to find and install your extension.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
David

Hello David,
We integrated Mylyn WikiText parser with our wiki in tinyPM and we also created the initial parser for DokuWiki syntaxt.
We would happily contribute it to the Mylyn WikiText project. Do you think it would be interesting for the Mylyn WikiText project?
How should we start the contribution process?
Best regards,
