[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Move XWiki GWT modules from web to platform - xwiki-devs@xwiki.org

11 Dec 2008

Hi devs,

I'd like to suggest to move our current xwiki-web-gwt and
xwiki-web-wysiwyg modules from platform/web to platform/.

Rationale :
 - Generic GWT modules to come (wiki-explorer, color picker, etc).
 - xwiki-web would hold only fully functional WARs.
 - WYSIWYG release cycle should be different from the one of web. This
would allow to benefit from WYSIWYG improvements in branch releases
(ex: XE 1.7.2, 1.7.3, etc) without requiring devs to commit on
multiple branches.
 - A lot of issues regarding the wysiwyg editor are created in the
XWiki Core project in jira, I think having a dedicated project makes
sense.

Current organization :
|- platform/
  |- web/ (xwiki-web)
    |- exo/ (xwiki-web-exo)
    |- gwt/ (xwiki-web-gwt)
  |- standard/ (xwiki-web-standard)
    |- wysiwyg/ (xwiki-web-wysiwyg)

New organization proposal :
|- platform/
  |- gwt/ (xwiki-gwt)
    |- commons/ (xwiki-gwt-commons)
    |- wysiwyg/ (xwiki--gwt-wysiwyg)
  |- web/ (xwiki-web)
    |- exo/ (xwiki-web-exo)
    |- standard/ (xwiki-web-standard)

This would also mean that we'd need 2 new projects in JIRA :
XWiki GWT Commons (XGCOMMONS) and XWiki GWT WYSIWYG (XGWYSIWYG).

Here's my +1.

Thanks,
JV.
