Some ideas: 1) We decide what projects we accept of course so it's not like we're going to have hundreds with semi dead projects. Also all projects start in the sandbox and are promoted only when they're ready. 2) "Xlet" is meant to be a project for storing sources of macros, applications, plugins submitted by users on code.xwiki.org. It's meant to be very open for anyone who want to work on them or add new ones. 3) I think the differentiation will be done on the forge wiki + by each project's wiki + by xwiki.org I see xwiki.org as the federator, listing the projects, highlighting some of them, etc. + a page listing all forge projects (we have that page actually but we can enrich it with status information). Obviously as the number of projects grow we'll need to refactor xwiki.org so that the home page scales + the Ecosystem panel will also need to evolve. > We might have a lot of different plugins places: > > - in platform > - in some applications > - in sandbox > - in xlet or plugins Yes, each project can have its own plugins or any other type of code for that matter. What's important is that plugins that are important enough and generic enough go in the platform eventually (as we've been doing, nothing new here). You haven't voted, does it mean you agree? :) Thanks -Vincent > Vincent Massol wrote: >> Hi, >> >> We need to better organize our SVN repos.
