[spaces-dev] spaces status

Hi,
Short story:
Work on Spaces is progressing well. Can everyone participate in the Spaces call on Wednesday to dicsuss next steps?
 
Longer story:
Some of the things that have changed recently are:
  • There is a Spaces Import Wizard that imports an update site to the Target Platform or to Workspace with capability of creating projects out of source!
  • Republishing (using same settings as for last publish) is implemented
  • The xdrive login is now integrated with spaces (i.e. the credentials entered in the add space dialog are now actually used)
  • The add space dialog is now configured based on data declared in the space provider extension point.
  • There is button in the add space dialog that gives user suggested/template data in the fields to edit rather than just empty fields.
  • A reset password action have been added to spaces view context menu (over space)
  • The unused / confusing fields at the bottom of the add space dialog dealing with source are now gone as the new publishing and import provides superior functionality.
And if you had not noticed before :)
  • there are now nice spaces icons in use for space nodes in the spaces view, and in the wizard/dialog headings.
  • context sensitive help is available in the wizards and dialogs, and the text is now somewhat styled to better fit in the narrow "help tray".
 
So, what remains right now:
  • Instructions how to use spaces
  • Thomas is doing finishing touches on publishing the way that Space Import imports things! If not done already, this should be finished tomorrow.
  • Fixing issues that turned up during testing - all will be fixed tomorrow:
    • Xdrive exceptions for FailedLogin does not make a distinction between this case and hard "should not happen" errors which leads to bad user feedback for "failed login".
    • Spaces View happily continues to build the space tree even if there was a failed login (same cause as above) - and should give up after the first failed login and display this status in the tree.
    • A refresh action in the spaces view
    • Remove of an xdrive file
