Happy new year everybody!!

It's been a while since my last post and this will be a very short one. All I wanted to do is let everyone interested know that I'm working on improving the wiki again. After the latest changes there is been a renewed interest in Liferay's wiki and a company has agreed to sponsor some further improvements (let's give them a big thank you).

After several conversations we've decided that their requirements will be best met by integrating JSPwiki's engine so that'll be the topic of my first tasks. But I'm doing it in a way that allows preserving the existing formats and to add new formats in the future by creating a pluggable wiki engines infrastructure. So I'll be refactoring the current formats (classic, plain text and HTML) as 3 engines and will be developing a new one for JSPwiki. I think this is a very flexible solution that will keep everybody happy.

The sponsorship also includes some other improvements to versioning, locking, etc. I'll also try to implement some other features in the wish list in my spare time. Also if you want to send me patches for features that you are interested in adding this is a perfect time to do it.

All of this new functionality is scheduled for Liferay 5.1, although will be available in trunk soon.
