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 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. +1
Also, if we retire the jira project, it means that we stop the support for
this application (since no new issues can be created), effectively retiring
the whole application itself, not only its jira project.
I`m not sure if we currently have a documented process for retiring contrib
extensions, but we should at least update the descriptions (and maybe title
as well - marking it [Retired]) on the e.x.o. page and on the contrib repo
to clearly mention that the app is no longer actively supported by anyone.
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 We could say that we ask on the list for an agreement
That's what Alex did :) Just need to tell authors to answer to his
mail, but not sure what it would mean for "Groupe Glon" here.
WDYT?
Thanks
