Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Removal of XWiki.RequiredRightClass page

Hi devs, In xwiki-enteprise we have XWiki.RequiredRightClass. We’ve started discussing it in the past in the “Split XE pages” mail thread and I’d like to move forward. So we need to decide what to do about it. Several options: * We discussed moving it to xwiki-platform-administration but it shouldn’t go there IMO since we’re trying to make this module almost empty (just providing the extension points mechanism) and have admin features dispatched in the modules providing them. Also it would mean forcing unnecessary dependencies on xwiki-platform-administration from several modules (6-7 right now). * It could go in a new xwiki-platform-security-ui module. * It could be moved to Java but we don’t have a clear policy nor decision if we want to favor xclasses written in java or opposite, decide that we don’t want that and move away from XClasses in Java. So we’d need to decide this first. * We could also simply remove it! Rationale: ** I don’t think we’re using that information much and its need is supposed to go away once signed scripts is there ** There’s no way to force pages requiring PR to add such an XObject and thus it’s not done consistently ** We don’t even have a page listing all pages requiring PR and even if we had one I’m not exactly what it would bring. I guess the idea was to make it simpler to install/upgrade XWiki but we’ve fixed this already in the Wiki Creation Wizard for example so the need is less now. So overall I’m more in favor of dropping this experiment which IMO wasn’t very successful.

WDYT?
