WDYM by “see through”? If you go to the admin you see installed extensions already. Probably five clicks thus far....
At least as long as there's a single flavour out there, the "default" nature of an extension being installed needs to be made more visible I feel. This I can open as an issue if you wish but I think we are missing a way to display this.
I don’t understand your point with the “default” flavor. Showing bundled extensions surely becomes even more important as the number of flavors increase. Does it? Isn't the default xwiki-entreprise still the most common one? How would you take in account the other flavours then? By listing them? Re “visibility", I’ve already suggested an idea in my reply. Yes, indeed, listing the flavours. I've opend this one: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13430 not all extensions should be perceived as installable But I feel that something more could be done. Maybe a way to check if an extension is installed in one's wiki (input your wiki name there and keep it in a cookie, click a link or even produce an iframe) What do others feel?
Also, the fact that it's called "extensions.xwiki.org" remains a hint towards a wiki to be extended. Marius Dumitru Florea wrote:
And if you try to search for it using Administration > Add Extensions you'll see that it's already installed. Does this not sound like... I'll add an extension???? I would like to manage extensions.
