[xwiki-devs] Issue with installed count on e.x.o overflowing the AS + too many versions

Hi Thomas and all, Back from holidays! :) I’ve noticed that the new feature of counting installed extensions on e.x.o is having a drawback: it saturates the activity stream, making it very hard to see real edits by users. Every day the scheduler modifies lots of wiki pages to set the new install count. See for example: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/News I think a simple change would be for the scheduler to make modifications as minor edits. This should prevent the edits from being visible in the AS. WDYT? Now this is going to cause another real issue very soon: pages will soon start to have a lot of revisions and we know this is currently a performance issue. It’s also hiding real edits in the history making the history a bit less clean. I guess an option would be for the scheduler to delete the last revision after it updates a page. Although not very nice, it could work for now. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
