Looks a bit similar to what the Totem application does: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/TotemApplication > // Why ? > > In termes of ergonomics it show it full potential when images speak better > than text.

The way I’d approach it: 1) Try the totem app and see if it matches your need 2) If not, see if would make sense to include a masonry style option in the totem app 3) if not, investigate using a library like http://masonry.desandro.com/. Use a JSX to enable it for a page. That shouldn’t take longer than 1 hour of work 4) If you want to go further, consider creation a masonry app for XWiki that would allow creating masonry-style pages similar to what the totem app does. You could do this using AWM as a starter place. Thanks -Vincent > // My current search state and ideas : > > I already searched the plugin database and couldn't find someting already > build.
