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.
not about
development of extensions; it’s about using binaries.
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

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 ;)

Let’s see what others think.
