[xwiki-dev] [VOTE] Include Foxwiki project in our main source tree and vote Rick Kenney as committer for it

[Robin Fernandes]

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/FoXWiki/chrome/content/overlay.js
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
