Hi, I also didn't understood what 'Project' is about and means.
To be honest I don't think e.x.o is the right place for it. IMO we should keep e.x.o just for installable extensions that can be used with Extension Manager. From what I remember we will want to remove snippets from e.x.o, so not sure why we should add now the concept of 'project'. Our projects are listed in http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Forge Thanks, Caty On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 12:22 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 06 Jun 2016, at 11:20, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> > >> On 06 Jun 2016, at 11:00, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> > >> On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 10:50 AM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> > wrote: > >>> Hi Thomas, > >>> > >>>> On 06 Jun 2016, at 10:44, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> > wrote: > >>>> > >>>> Hi xwikiers, > >>>> > >>>> I just introduced a "Project" extension type on > http://extensions.xwiki.org. > >>>> > >>>> I needed a place to put a few words about OpenId Connect in general, > >>>> the goal of the project, the various modules and what is common > >>>> between them, etc. It's also the parent space of the actual > >>>> extensions.
