Agreed. Note that this is almost what's Ludovic proposal is about, except the final "Getting Updates about new applications" part. A "degraded" version of this feature could be email / RSS notifications (users manage their list of "installed extensions", and code.xwiki.org sends email about each new update, etc.). > > 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.

I agree, but again, that's only excluding "getting updates about applications right into XE" part, all the rest stands valid to me, when confronted to this point.
