Hi Denis,

Well, I have not yet look in details the new features for page manipulation, but I was wondering if there will be a simple way to delete application data without deleting the application itself with the model you propose ? I know there is already issue with that about the WebHome which is usually an entry point to the application, but deleting a space was possible. If the code is nested under the data, isn't it an issue. It looks like the opposite of the general way (not xwiki way, but in application in general), where the code abstract more or less the location of the data and is the "main" part.
So, I am not sure actually, that this is the best way. Maybe code and data should be side by side under a entry point documents ?
You mean something like:
MyApp |_ Data/ |_ Code/ |_ WebHome
(Instead of leaving it free for apps to decide where to put the data they generate)
We could indeed standardize on the location of where an app puts the data it generates in a “Data" space.
The problem with that is the forced /Data/ part of the URL which is really not nice.
Good point, that’s a no go IMO. Thanks -Vincent
Even without this, to remove an app you’d simply remove the Code/ space (+ the WebHome).
So your proposal of a standardized Data directory doesn’t contradict my proposal, it’s actually an additional proposal, so I guess you agree about the 2 rules? (you didn’t mention anything about rule 2).
Thanks! -Vincent

Hi devs,
Following our implementation of NS/NP in 7.2 I’d like to propose 2 new best practices for app dev that we would list at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPrac...
1) New rule 1: “Code” subspace
Current text: * Generally, put all your pages in a single space dedicated for the application you're developing (e.g. Faq, Scheduler, IRC, AppWithinMinutes, etc). The name must be as short as possible while still being understandable of course and without overusing abbreviations.
New version: * Generally, put all your pages in a single space dedicated for the application you're developing (e.g. Faq, Scheduler, IRC, AppWithinMinutes, etc). The name must be as short as possible while still being understandable of course and without overusing abbreviations. * Technical pages should be put in a subspace named “Code”
Note: this rule can only be applied for new applications for now since the EM doesn’t know how to follow renames currently so for example if I move pages from the FAQCode space to the FAQ.Code space, when EM upgrades the app, it’ll display all pages in FAQCode as deleted (basically it considers all pages in FAQ.Code as new pages and pages in FAQCode as deleted pages). Note: I’ve created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12622 for this.
2) New rule 2:
* Technical pages without children must be terminal pages.
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
