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,

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

Actually
even as a dev, I don’t really. I guess you mean it as a container
for other extensions.
All those extensions are part of the same project, released together,
have the same bug tracker et source repository so "even as a dev, I
don’t really" might be a little bit exaggerated :)
The reason I said project wasn’t clear even for devs is because exo is
In a dev context project makes sense but in a runtime context, it
doesn’t really.
You don’t install a project and you don’t consider binaries
to be a project. The goal of a project is to create something; it’s a work
in progress.
You do install a Product so that might be a better word but it looks
too big.
I still find “Group” the best work proposed so far.
s/work/word ;)
