-0 (leaning more towards -1) since the focus should be on the extension and
not on the fact that it`s a contrib project. I really see no constructive
point generally in following "contrib-only" discussions and it`s something
that I`d personally prefer not to encourage. If you are interested in a
particular extension or a particular list of extensions, then it should be
easy to make a filter only for those keywords.
I do not support creating a community-wise segregation in any way between
the development of the XWiki core and its extensions, either explicit
(through a separate discussion list) or implicit (by differentiating core
discussions from extensions or the other way around). I find it already
hard enough to build a community, as it is.
Thanks,
Eduard
