Hi devs,
Following our strategy of moving non-core extensions of platform in xwiki-contrib I’d like
to discuss moving non-core modules of xwiki-rendering into xwiki-contrib.
My real need ATM is to know where I should commit the Markdown renderer I’ve been working
on as a proof of concept. It’s working but not everything is supported yet and I don’t
plan nor want to commit to make it work in the near future. I also don’t want to put the
burden of maintaining it on the xwiki core dev team. And I also feel it should be located
in the same module where the Markdown parser is located. So one solution is to move the
Markdown syntax module into xwiki-contrib, as a whole.
Now, if we do this for the markdown module we might as well agree to do it for other
non-core modules, namely:
- some syntaxes: mediawiki, twiki, apt, confluence*, creole, docbook, doxia, jspwiki, tex
(+ markdown of course)
- some macro transformations: linkchecker, wikiword
- some macros like: the ctsreport one and the jira macro
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
