So what I find confusing is that we have a "project" - "type" and a "project" - "category".
We could let's say have types like: "project", "snippet", "extension", etc. But we would need 'dynamic' categories. Only when choosing the type extension, the categories should be populated listing: application, macro, colortheme, skin, etc. And to be honest on the e.x.o homepage we should list just extension type. And in that case I don't know how people would find snippet or project. So maybe an idea would be to have separate subwikis for: snippets.xwiki.org and projects.xwiki.org (but this would need a separate application showing if the project is active, components, etc.) Thanks, Caty On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 12:57 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < [email protected]> wrote: > I know it's a bit problematic since we use e.x.o also as a documentation > place, not just for installable things, so I'm not sure what is the best > thing to do. > > With the 'project' logic we would need to mark also "XWiki Office", "XWiki > Eclipse", etc. as having the "project" category. > > Also "Skins" are not installable with EM. > > Thanks, > Caty > > On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 12:52 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> 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.
