xwiki-invitation sounds good to me too, as Vincent suggested. > > Vincent Massol wrote: >> On Apr 20, 2010, at 12:42 PM, Caleb James DeLisle wrote: >> >>> I have a working prototype of the invitation mail sender and I would like >>> to put it in the sandbox. >>> I need to know how that should be done and should this be a separate top >>> level project on jira? >>> Some guidance here would be great. >> +1 for a top level app in platform/applications (which means a jira for it >> too). >> >> As for the process, I'm proposing: >> 1) explain what this app would do (maybe you already did?) > I described what I hoped to achieve here: > http://www.pubbs.net/201001/xwiki/60333-xwiki-devs-proposal-allow-users-to-send-mail-inviting-their-friends-to-join-a-wiki.html > > and show a mockup of its UI so that we can agree about it and get help for > our community designers > There has been one here for a while, I rewrote the code but the UI is the > same. > http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/InvitationMail/FriendInviter I couldn't find a mockup for displaying the list of invitations (pending/accepted) sent by the user. I think this should appear somewhere on the user profile. Also, is it possible to cancel an invitation? I have two use cases in mind: * the user sends the invitation to the wrong email address * the user wants to delete invitations that haven't been accepted in a specific amount of time (e.g. the invitee is asked to register before a given date) How is the invitation application going to work in a wiki where registration is disabled? i.e. you have to be invited to be able to register. Regarding the send invitation form, I think it would be useful to add explanatory text below each label. For instance, it's not clear that the user has to enter an email address in the "Who you are inviting:" field (can I enter multiple email addresses?). Also on the same page we should describe what happens with the invitation (the fact than an email is sent to the specified email address) and ask the user to not abuse this feature because his right to send invitations can be removed if his invitations are reported as spam.
