We could install the Ideas app somewhere on design.xwiki.org and make it exclusive for listing Extensions ideas. Thanks, Caty On Thu, Jan 31, 2019 at 10:35 AM Thomas Mortagne < thomas.mortagne(a)xwiki.com&gt; wrote:

We had such a page for “Wanted Macros” and then we strike them out when they’re implemented/available (see https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewMacros). Installing the Idea app is a nice idea :) Unfortunately this app only supports a single idea theme ATM (AFAIK). If we could use it in a namespace (under a given page) then we could install it on design.xwiki.org and make that “Wanted Extensions” page use it. That would be ideal for me. It shouldn’t be hard to refactor the Idea app to support that I guess if it doesn’t already support it. I don’t like too much using JIRA for this (I prefer to keep JIRA for stuff to implement, i.e. when it goes out of the idea/design phase) and keep design.xwiki.org as our first phase and only create issues in jira when it’s tasked for implementation.

IMO there is little benefit we can get from this CEIDEA project

(I would have liked it to be EXOIDEA as naming).

It might end up to be the "place where ideas go to die”.

The only use case indeed are the hackatons and GSOC projects. But I like that is separate from the other issues and, being in JIRA, it will be easy to reference and move them.

I think it should be documented somewhere that this place exists (depending if we want to encourage it or just use it as a way to clean the XWIKI project). Maybe contrib homepage?
