Ideally we should go over the IDEAS issues already reported and see which

Yep.
IMO there is little benefit we can get from this
CEIDEA project
(I would
have liked it to be EXOIDEA as naming).
Sure, Done!
It might end up to be the "place
where ideas go to die”.
Yes, that’s the idea ;) (pun intended).
It’s not to die, it’s to record ideas and give the ability for anyone to comment on them.
Sure, the majority of them won’t be implemented but that’s the same as saying that its
useful to record ideas and I don’t agree with this statement. It can create discussions
(in the issue) and provide ideas for GSOCers or others to take up some ideas. It’s also a
way to record and give the paternity of the idea to someone. It’s also answers whatever
one in the community wants: when they have an idea, where do they report it? If you tell
them, just keep it in your head, that’s not very useful nor positive.
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.
Yes that’s a good idea. We could create either a component in this project for GSOC ideas
or a jira label.
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?
I don’t think it’s very important since we would be the one moving them but yes it’s
better to document it somewhere. 2 places comes to mind:
* Contrib home page
* Contributing page:
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing

Thanks,
Caty
