Hi devs,
Since starting to develop the workspaces feature, under the Wiki3.0 project,
I`ve used internally the name "Workspace Manager" (providing the script
service "$services.workspaceManager") by following the naming scheme used by
the Wiki Manager plugin. When the code was moved into the platform, I`ve
named the top maven artefact "xwiki-platform-workspace-manager" and the java
package "org.xwiki.workspacemanager".
Recently, Vincent proposed [1][2](see arguments) to drop the "-manager"
suffix, thus, the following changes would occur:
- "$services.workspace" instead of "$services.workspaceManager"
- "org.xwiki.workspace" instead of "org.xwiki.workspacemanager"
- "xwiki-platform-workspace" instead of
"xwiki-platform-workspace-manager"
- "Workspace Feature" instead of "Workspace Manager Feature"
Since it's a new module, there are no problems with backward compatibility
so the changes can be applied with some minor refactorings of the velocity
code using the service.
I did not know about this naming policy, so I`d like your opinion/vote on
whether to apply the proposed changes and enforce this policy in the future
as well.
Here's my +1.
Big +1 from me to drop all -manager from module names since they're all managers and
there's no need to add this information in the name (makes everything shorter and
simpler).
Thanks Eddy for following up on this. It's important to decide now before we release
