Hi Ludovic/everyone, Good start. However we've already started designing the Extension Manager here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManager
Thus this proposal should be modified to take that into account. IMO your proposal is slightly less advanced in term of our final goal than the Extension Manager one. That said there are common notions so it could be a problem to start implementing them in a not compatible manner. I also think that we could have a quick redesign of code.xwiki.org with better presentation and better XClasses/XObjects but without modifying a single line of code from XE. That would be easy to do and bring some improvements (not all obviously). I'm worried that if someone start implementing your idea right now and quickly we're going to spend time on something that will be dumped when we start working on the Extension Manager. IMO it should be done and taken into account when we start working on the Extension Manager. However as I mentioned ago, I think it's perfectly fine to improve code.xwiki.org right now but with smaller goals. Just a L&F improvement, navigation improvement, etc but without touching XE's code. What do others think?
