Description

Right now it displays full technical user names spearated by commas. For example:

XWiki.Admin,XWiki.VincentMassol

This is really not user friendly and it's hard to for xwiki users to modify the behavior to link to user profiles instead.

Ideally it should display a little user icon, followed by the user name with a link to the user profile.

BTW how do we tell the Livetable what format the data should use to display columns? Right now we can control the type: "text", "list", "number", "hidden", but I don't think we can control the formatting. It might be nice to be able to do so.

In the meantime the workaround is to add a custom display for your "List Of Users" class property, see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/User+Property+Custom+Display

This is how a live table with a column of type "Lists of Users" looks like in 4.3M2. Note that the column is simply configured like this:

  'contributors': {"type":"text","size":10},
