Rick, Vincent,
This is great, I'd be more than happy for the XWiki team to make it a
proper project. I can't guarantee I'll have much time to participate,
but let me know if you have any questions.
Sorry for not seeing the comment (in fact I still can't find it :).
Regarding the license, in the code in
http://svnmirror.xwiki.org/svn/mirror/xwiki/xwiki-sandbox/xwiki-clients/FoX…
I had marked it as Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License (i.e. you
are free to use it for any purpose as long as you mention the author -
see
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ :). I would personally
prefer to keep it as a CC Attribution license if this does not impair
you at all, but if you do need to use LGPL like the rest of XWiki, you
may change it.
Rick, do you have an author account on the Mozilla addons site? Let me
know which email address you register(ed) with, and I'll add you as an
author for FoXWiki. Note that, because I never got around to fixing it
up for Firefox 2.0, it has been sandboxed and is therefore no longer
visible on the public Mozilla addons site. Once it is updated, it can
be nominated for publication again.
+1.
Regards,
Robin

Hi,
Rick Kenney has fixed the Foxwiki plugin available in our sandbox (it
was initially created by Robin Fernandes - Site is here:
http://soal.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Code/FoXWiki).
Rick has tried to contact Robin without success so far. We need to
find out under what license it is. But assuming the license is correct
and Robin agrees, I'd like us to vote on including it as part of our
releases. This means we are agreeing to maintaining it.
Rick has agreed to maintain it, so if we agree I'll vote to get him
write access to it so that he can be the maintainer for it.
If we agree on this, I propose the following:
1) Rick creates a JIRA issue in the XWiki Platform project for now,
component "Other" and attach his working version to it
2) I create the extension area for foxwiki in our SVN and apply your
patch there. I had already proposed such an area which we also need
for the Eclipse integration.
3) I also create the maven build for it so that it can be built as
part of our CI
4) I create a JIRA project for it and move your issue to it
5) I do a release of it (version 1.0) with maven in our remote maven repo
6) I create an extension page for it on
xwiki.org (in the Code Zone,
Extension section) and link to the download location on our remote
maven repo
7) I create a blog post on
xwiki.org to announce the new project and
the availability of the 1.0 version
8) From there on, people create JIRA issues for it in its jira project
and Rick acts on them. I can act as the release manager whenever a new
version is ready
Here's my +1 for both including Foxwiki and voting Rick as committer
for *that* project only.
Thanks
-Vincent
