I think they are ok, although I find it to be a lot of
terminology.
Still not sure why we need the "XWiki N.P". First of all is a mix of NS/ND,
I don’t see the relationship with Nested Spaces, Nested Documents :)
plus I am not sure why we should give it such an
importance that it enters
the terminology. I would use "since 7.4.1" instead, just like we have with
all our documentation done for a particular version.
In all/most our doc we use "since XWiki 7.4.1". We need to mention what we’re
referring to or there can be ambiguity :)
Also “XWiki Platform”: synonymous for “XWiki Core” I
find it to be
confusing and I think we should use Core instead if we want to talk about
everything.
Ah yes this is just a leftover. I forgot to remove it. Thanks.
Also we are keep talking about "Default
Flavor" which currently now is
"XWiki Enterprise" but it will change. Still the logo will be XWiki, so
will we want to brand somehow the "Default Flavor"? or we just keep it
XWiki? For the users "Default Flavor" = "XWiki", but I guess we will
need
to discuss this when the Flavors will evolve.
Yes indeed, we’ll discuss it then. IMO it’s the same XWiki logo. Other flavors could use
different logos though.
Thanks

Thanks,

Ok so we have 3 answers so far… If you agree or
don’t agree please send us
your inputs, since 3 answers is not that much!
I’d really like to progress and publish those on xwiki.org and start
using them!
See below for the changes.

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs Hi devs,
Now that we’ve voted on the "XWiki Core” concept and that we’ve agreed
that
the xwiki organization on github should focused on offering core
extensions only (and the rest should be moved to contrib) we need to ensure
that we use the same terminology everywhere.
I’d like to start updating xwiki.org(http://xwiki.org) accordingly but
first I
want to be sure we agree on the terminology:
* The "XWiki Runtime”: the XWiki WAR that you get from the various
distributions that you can find on xwiki.org(http://xwiki.org). It’s a
minimalistic runtime on top of which you can install Extensions.
Documentation for it will be available at http://platform.xwiki.org.
Changed to:
* The “XWiki Distribution”: the XWiki WAR that you get from the various
distributions that you can find on xwiki.org(http://xwiki.org). It’s a
minimalistic runtime on top of which you can install Extensions.
Documentation for it will be available at http://platform.xwiki.org.
* “XWiki Packages”: the various packagings used to distribute the “XWiki
Distribution”, e.g. the zip packaging, the debian packaging, the exe
installer, etc.
* “XWiki Core”: Represents the set of XWiki
APIs/sources making up the
"XWiki Platform”. The sources are available in
github in the xwiki-commons,
xwiki-rendering and xwiki-platform repositories. More globally can be meant
to represent all the sources found in the xwiki github organization.
Changed to:
* “XWiki Core”: Represents the set of XWiki APIs/sources that end up being
in the “Default Flavor". The sources are available in github in the
xwiki-commons, xwiki-rendering and xwiki-platform repositories. More
globally can be meant to represent all the sources found in the xwiki
github organization. Generally speaking any module that isn’t bundled in
the “Default Flavor” should be moved to XWiki Contrib (except for modules
that are used to build “XWiki Core” and potentially some case by case
exceptions).
The rest remains unchanged.
Thanks
-Vincent
* “XWiki Contrib”: Extensions to the "XWiki
Runtime”. Located under the
xwiki-contrib organization in github.
* The "XWiki Core Development Team” or “XWiki Core Team” (previously
called
"XWiki Development Team"): the list of committers of the “xwiki"
github organization.
* “XWiki Platform”: synonymous for “XWiki Core”. Since “XWiki Platform”
could also
represent the xwiki-platform github repository, it’s better to
use “XWiki Core” when wanting to name the full content of the xwiki github
organization. For example: “The XWiki Core Development Team works on XWiki
Core”…
* “Flavor”: a set of Extensions (usually with a purpose) that can be
installed all
together in a XWiki Runtime or when creating a subwiki inside
the XWiki Runtime.
* The “Default Flavor”: the unique flavor provided by the “XWiki Core
Development
Team”. Contrib projects and more generally anyone else can
contribute other flavors on extensions.xwiki.org(
http://extensions.xwiki.org). These flavors will appear in the XWiki
Platform when you first run it or when you create a new subwiki. The
Default Flavor is going to replace “XWiki Enterprise” (and
enterprise.xwiki.org(http://enterprise.xwiki.org) will be removed and
folded into platform.xwiki.org(http://platform.xwiki.org) - the same will
happen for xwiki-enterprise which will be folded into xwiki-platform in
github)
* “XWiki Committers” or “XWiki Team". Vague terms that represent the
full set
of committers of both the xwiki and xwiki-contrib github
organizations.
* “XWiki N.P”. Shortcut for the “XWiki Runtime” version N.P (e.g. “XWiki
7.4.1”).
* The “XWiki Project”. Generic term that includes the work done by XWiki
Contrib
Committers, XWiki Core Committers and by extensions the work done
by the full community of contributors to both xwiki and xwiki-contrib
github organizations.
Do you agree with this? Any other terms that we should define?
Once agreed I’ll kickstart the work by updating xwiki.org(
http://xwiki.org) pages
by creating a Terminology page and update some
existing pages. However it’ll be up to everyone to follow the terminology.
Thanks
-Vincent
