What about http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ExternalNews then ?
Is there really only one page for Watch? Where does it put the articles, etc? I think you need a new space.
Yes, you need a space. I didn't even notice that Guillaume proposed a page name, I read it as http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ExternalNews/ .
I'd be fine with http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ExternalNews/WebHome but I think it's better to have a top level domain name for several reasons: * better visibility * easier to go to rather than having to go xwiki.org and click on a link * easier for upgrades (XE on xwiki.org and watch are separate)
this makes me +1 for a separate wiki. I would have had it in the watch wiki on xwiki.org but, since the goal is to have the latest version of watch running there, we need to make sure it is freely upgradable (which can require upgrading the underlying XE).
Otherwise, I still think it should be on watch.xwiki.org rather than xwiki.org for consistency reasons, since it would be a demo of watch -- that is the main purpose as I see it, allowing people to click around and have a quick look without having to download, install, etc.
Then we still have a disagreement :) Right now (and I'd like to keep it this way) all wikis on the xwiki.org domain are for *real*. They are not test platforms for people to see how xwiki works and have some fun trying it. They have real usages (documentation of the xwiki software). We have one exception: this is playground.xwiki.org which is there for people to test and play around. Thus my proposal is: 1) have a new wiki (news.xwiki.org, same as we have jira.xwiki.org, svn.xwiki.org and maven.xwiki.org) which will be our news "portal". Note: It will also listen to the xwiki.org Blog feed. 2) have a Watch space in playground.xwiki.org for people to try out Watch. But I'm -1 to have a watch playground on watch.xwiki.org since I don't want to blur the lines and I want to make it very clear that demo/ testing is on playground.xwiki.org and the rest is for real. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
With a link at the top of the current news page and / or in the left panel ?
Yes we'll need that (in the right panel not left ;)).
Thanks -Vincent
