Hi Thomas,
I'm trying to get up to speed with the Extension Manager.
Did you manage to get this done or is it still in the works ?
If it's there, how can we test the feature and current status ?
Also I'd like to propose that we put a few things in place for the
Extension Manager feature:
1/ An action plan on this page:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManager
We do have a lot of Use Cases, but we don't know the priority of each and
which one are worked one/already done.
The "Gadgets Action Plan" is a good example (although it's not up to
date):
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/Gadget+Scenarios+Prioritized
One we have an action plan, I'd like to review it and make sure we haven't
forgotton:
- which work is needed to wire the feature for "end-users"
- platform work (have a respository available)
- sample extensions (have some sample extensions in the repository)
Excel plugin and SVN app are good candidates :)
2/ Build a test plan so that Sorin can test the new feature and verify it
corresponds to the objectives
What do you think ?

Hi devs,
I did not had much time to work on Extension Manager lately so you did
not seen much new things.
I'm concentrating again on it and here is what you can expect for 3.0M3:
* multiwiki support: it means that you can install an extension on
specific wiki(s) (even jar extensions)
* xar handler: the possibility to install/upgrade/uninstall a xar. It
will be only a first version here since it's a very big work.
** will contains:
*** import a xar into the wiki
*** the xar can have infinite number of pages and attachments,
it's just limited by the size of each attachment right now until the
storage API support fully streamed attachments
*** very limited upgrade: import add a new version to make sure to
not loose anything, there is no real merging handling
*** still experimental (not stable) API
*** still demo-like UI
I'm pretty much done with multiwiki support and import and currently
writing tests for it. Then I will add new feature in the UI.
The next step will be to concentrate on xar merging for framework side
and start sealing a bit more the API. Some work on the UI will
probably be done at the same time too.
Thanks,
