Hi Jeremie and all, Back from holidays too :) Cool to see progress on this!
Ok I've parsed this thread and here's my take: * JIRA: I'll create a dedicated JIRA project since the project seems large enough to warrant it * Documentation: our rule is currently to have pages on extensions.xwiki.org and if the project becomes too large to create a dedicated wiki for it, as we've done for rendering.xwiki.org, commons.xwiki.org, enterprise, etc for example (see http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome). IMO it's ok ATM to have several pages on e.x.o for the MailArchive application and we can decide later on to move it to its own wiki (after we have a 1.0 released IMO). * Nexus: I'll create an account for you. Is that ok?
