[xwiki-dev] [VOTE] Change package names from com.xpn.xwiki to org.xwiki

[Vincent Massol]

Hi,

Actually I wrote this email offline and I only sent it yesterday  
night by error. I had written it earlier and in the meantime I had  
spoken to Ludovic who thinks this is going to cause trouble with  
current projects. Thus I was going not to send it but it got sent  
when I got connected to a wifi hotspot in the street... ;-)

The other option we have is to do this move when we move to the new  
2.0 architecture. Of course this means 1.0 users are going to use the  
APIs and current packages to write plugins, etc and it'll be harder  
to move all of them to the new package structure later on. But if  
it's going to cause too much problem to current projects I understand.

Ludovic, please let us know your POV.

Thanks
-Vincent
