To be honest I would love that this info would be in e.x.o.
On git we have a link to the website of the app. There we could put all the info inside the Repository app. Otherwise we will duplicate information, have it desync, etc.
@Caty, this is what I mentioned already in my mail. So far, Guillaume said he preferred not to do this and have explicit info instead. Also note that we need the README anyway **for now** since the Repository app (and what’s installed on exo) is missing a lot of the needed info (see details in my first mail). Unless you think it’s better to not have anything at all till the Repository app on exo is updated (which might possibly be in a long time in the future). I’m open to both ideas as I mentioned in my initial mails. Thanks -Vincent
Thanks, Caty

+1. It`s always good to have some guidance.
Also, the project lead field should be a bit more useful than a name.
Maybe
github account, IRC handle or something like this might be useful as well, as a means of contacting the person. It won`t always be well known XWiki committers there.
Link to the xwiki.org user profile page? (there the user can put whatever info he wants to be found)
We should probably add a field in the profile for the github account.
Thanks

I don’t agree. I think we should only put the minimal number of information as it’s very tedious to ensure that the info is in sync. Right now I’ve put only what I think is the minimal info. Also the Java version is checked during the build so you cannot have it wrong.
OTOH I see there’s a link to Translations on l10n. I think that’s a good idea for apps that support internationalization. Would be optional.

The template is about the minimal that need to be displayed. We should mention that of course each repo should add whatever information it needs/wants to that README.
