Now that I've picked it up...
Is there any real reason why the AppManager has to span 6 spaces?
I can understand having XAppManager, and perhaps XAppUtil or
XAppResource (XAppApp doesnt' really work.. :-) but I don't like
having XApp, and XAppClasses and XAppManager and XAppResources and
XAppSheets and XAppTemplates..
that's just a waste of spaces... users ask for lists of spaces all of
the time.. why should we be adding so many?
I would prefer:
XApp.XWikiApplicationXapp
XApp.XWikiApplicationXwikiapplicationclass
XAppManager.CreateApplication
XAppManager.WebHome
XAppManager.Translations
XAppManager.XWikiApplicationClass
XAppManager.XWikiApplicationClassSheet
XAppManager.XWikiApplicationClassTemplate
XAppManager is then clearly the XAppManager application, and XApp's
are the applications it manages. I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't like
having things spread out spaghetti in a lot of spaces... Maybe that's
fine on small installs, but when you have 100 or so spaces, it's
annoying to spontaneously pick up 4 more...
