[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Change of behavior for Applications Panel and app registration in general

Hi devs, With the recent introduction of the Applications Index (see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Application+Index+Appl…) we need to agree on a few things. In the past we had: * We wanted all new app that you installed to automatically be visible in the Applications Panel * This is why the Applications Panel config had a blacklist (and not a white list) What we’ve done: * We add the Applications Index * We removed some apps from the Applications Panel. Namely: Invitation, Panels, Scheduler, User Directory and Tour applications. this was done using hardcoded blacklist xobjects in PanelsCode.ApplicationsPanelConfiguration. The need: * We need to remove this hack. It’s not normal for the Panels module to know all the apps that shouldn’t be listed in it! Proposal: * Replace the blacklist configuration of the Applications Panel by a whitelist one * When a new app is installed, list it in the Applications Index but don’t add it to the Applications Panel * If an admin wants to add this new for his users, he’ll need to add it in the Admin UI for the Applications Panel. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
