Hi,
I've discussed about it a bit more with Jerome and I'd like to come
with a simpler proposal.
Contrib releases would be published in
http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/contrib/, the only
difference with official xwiki.org releases is that the
distributionManagement configuration in contrib project would point to
nexus staging repo.
About contrib snapshots they'd use the same configuration as official
xwiki.org projects, contributors would ask on the list for their
project to be added on http://hudson.xwiki.org.
Here's my +1
Thanks,
JV.

Hi XWikiers,
The goal of this proposal is to be able to deploy contrib projects on
the xwiki maven repository, allowing distributions to depend on
contrib projects.
Contrib projects deployment must be different from the other xwiki.org
deployments since want to review the artifacts contributors publish
under our banner.
The proposal is to use the nexus staging deployment feature to perform
contrib releases. Strategy:
- Create the http://maven.xwiki.org/contrib/ repository
- When a contributor first want to release his project, create a user
for him allowed to push artifacts in staging on nexus.xwiki.org. This
credentials are meant to be put in ~/.m2/settings.xml to be used by
maven for authentication on nexus.xwiki.org.
- When a contributor performs a release the artifacts are pushed on
the nexus staging repository, an email is sent on
notifications(a)xwiki.org to notify nexus admins that they must
review/publish them.
We could create a new http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/pom/
pom project to ease maintainers work, here's a draft:
-------------------------8<-----------------------------
<groupId>org.xwiki.contrib</groupId>

<name>XWiki Contrib - Root POM</name>

<id>xwiki-staging</id>
<name>XWiki Staging Repository</name>
<url>http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
------------------------->8-----------------------------
Note: I'm still not sure about this, I think duplicating
distributionManagement in an application and have xwiki-applications
as parent might be more convenient than the contrary (duplicating
build extensions and stuff + have org.xwiki.contrib.root as parent).
WDYT ?
Thanks,
JV.
