Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki Day for 20 Feb 2014: Deprecation Fixing Day

Hi devs, I’d like to propose a Deprecation Fixing Day for the next XWiki Day, ie for the 20 Feb 2014. The rules I propose: * On that day, I send the reminder email with inside the # of deprecated calls found in Commons, Rendering and Platform. For example right now it’s: - Commons: 39 (http://sonar.xwiki.org/drilldown/issues/1?&rule=squid%3ACallToDeprecate…) - Rendering: 3 (http://sonar.xwiki.org/drilldown/issues/915?&rule=squid%3ACallToDepreca…) - Platform: (still being computed, I don’t have a link to give ATM ;)) * One goal is to replace calls to deprecated methods by new API calls * Another goal is to move deprecated methods and types to legacy modules * On that day, I'll prepare a Blog post on xwiki.org (not published) and everyone who participates to this day should edit the blog post with his score for the day (since it’s hard to compute automatically). There’ll be 2 scores for everyone: a score for removed deprecated calls (1 point per removal) and a score for types and methods moved to legacy modules (1 point per type and method moved). WDYT? Note that in the future I’d like to expand this to a more generic Violation Fixing Day which would be about fixing any type of violations as reported by Sonar but before we do this we need to decide which violations we consider important and configuration Sonar properly for that. I’ll try to propose something on this soon. Thanks -Vincent
