Well, showing it as an "application" might be misleading. I haven't thought much about it. I guess it matters a bit less if we have the redesign that shows them all on the home page. Another idea would be to succeed in having the same XClass for all extensions (if possible - I wanted to do that initially but found there were different, maybe we can try again) and then use tags for categorize extensions (and the tag cloud feature of the livetable on the home page). -Vincent >> -Vincent >> >>> Jerome. >>>> >>>> I haven't seen anyone asking for this so I doubt we need it right >>>> now. >>>> >>>> Thanks >>>> -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
