I think it would be more appropriate to put the stuff about the
dojo organization in the description or in some additional optional
"content-author" type elements.
thoughts?
I put that vendor related info into the metadata thinking it would
help automate the creation of pages like:
http://geronimoplugincentral.org/index.php?
option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=29
But giving it a second thought I agree that those fields should be
used for the plugin itself rather than what is "inside" the plugin.
<content-author> might work OK, or to facilitate usage like the page
referenced above, and some other interesting scenarios, we could
introduce an element that provides information about embedded
components. For example:
<name>Dojo plugin for Jetty</name>
<url>http://geronimo.apache.org/</url>
<author>The Apache Geronimo development community</author>
<license osi-approved="true">The Apache Software License, Version
2.0</license>
<embeds>
<name>Dojo Toolkit</name>
<author>The Dojo foundation</author>
<version>0.4.2</version>
<url>http://dojotoolkit.org/</url>
<license osi-approved="true">BSD and Academic Free License
v2.1</license>
</embeds>
This <embeds> element is different from the <prerequisite> and
<dependency> elements because it describes something that is actually
inside the plugin.
Best wishes,
