Hello all, Following the initial discussion at http://markmail.org/thread/kachlhm3d26g22jb I by this mail throw a vote to move on and create the contrib project.
After giving it some more thoughts in a discussion with Vincent, here is what I propose : 1) Create a "contrib" top level project, so create : - The "contrib.xwiki.org" wiki with the draft at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Contrib-Main-WebHome as initial content for it's Main.WebHome - List this wiki in the Main.Forge page on www.xwiki.org, and also refactor a little this page using the content at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Www-Main-Forge (The main noticeable difference is the change of wording between "XWiki Products and Extensions" to "XWiki [Top Level] Projects", and the fact platform now belongs to the list). - Create a contrib directory at svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/, with the following architecture : contrib/ |__people/ |__projects/ |__retired/ |__sandbox/ *people* will be a directory for "personal tests" projects (such as http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/sandbox/xdom/). The idea is behind is to give whoever requests it a personal space where he can experiment with XWiki code, and that space is private (i.e. an implied rule is that people are not supposed to commit code in others projects, thus making it different from sandbox projects). Each sub-folder of people/ will be composed of the name of the person that requests his project, for example "jvelociter". *projects* will hosts the actual contrib projects, that are active (meaning that they still do make sense as projects in the XWiki ecosystem, they are not abandoned, etc.) *retired* will be the "place where dead project go ;(" for example http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/sandbox/xeclipse-gsoc/ since it's now replaced by the XEclipse top level project. *sandbox* will be the new place for the current sandbox. We therefore propose to move all sandboxed projects here (except for the retired ones that will go straight to california). 2) Create a "XWiki Contribs" JIRA project with projects from "sandbox" and "projects" as components. Note that we want to leave open the possibility for big projects to have their own JIRA on our installation as well. We will move existing issues that are right now correctly componentized in the current XSANDBOX to the new project, and lose the other ones (which are a couple of old closed issues AFAIR). Here is my +1 Please let me know what you think of all this. If we agree I'd like to make the move during the week. Thanks, Jerome. _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
