Hi devs,
This is a proposal on how we could improve the homepage of
extensions.xwiki.org in order to make it easier for users to discover
useful extensions.
Homepage:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrgExtensionsWiki/…
The main idea is to add a Recommended property to the Extensions class in
order to select some extensions that we believe to be of high quality.
Having this property will help us highlight this selection on the homepage,
by providing a custom livetable (users that will want to browse all
extensions should use the 'Browse' action - that will take them to the
current e.x.o livetable).
Some notes about the recommended livetable, we should:
- add a filterble Ratings column
- improve the Author column (by providing filtering and a display)
- simplify the date format
I've tried to make the proposal as simple as possible to implement.
Let me know what you think,
Caty
