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
