We don't have any process. We actually never done it before. What we
could easily do is add a property in ExtensionClass to indicate an
extension is retired in which case:
* the extension does not appear in EM anymore (i.e. make the extension
"invalid") since that's something we want for this kind of extension I
think
* the extension sheet make clear it's retired with some visible marker
in the title and some warning at the beginning of the content
Or simply remove the extension from e.x.o. I don’t think they should even
be visible on e.x.o since they’ll be visible when someone filters or
searches for extensions and will potentially confuse the user (even with
the banner/warnings).
If we want to keep it visible I’d not mix them with
other extensions in
the LT but instead I'd introduce another page for retired extensions and
we’d add a link to retired extensions on e.x.o home page somewher.
I would keep it on e.x.o for documentation. There may be users that are
forced to use this application. Note that this application is in a similar
situation to the Radeox macros that Thomas wanted to remove from e.x.o .
Check the "Remove old Radeox macros from e.x.o?" thread.
I agree that it shouldn't appear on EM and on the e.x.o live table.
Thanks,

I think we need an agreement from authors in order to mark an extension as
retired. We could say that we ask on the list for an agreement putting in
cc the authors (when we have their email addresses) and if we don’t get any
answer in 2 weeks, we go ahead and retire it. If they say they still want
to maintain it, we keep it.
WDYT?
Thanks

P.S.: The link to the new old jira project would
still need to be added
