Yes design.xwiki.org was previously a space called Ideas on dev.xwiki.org but since it’s
been moved and renamed it’s no longer about ideas but about designs (ie the next step,
once you start working on an idea).
One alternative I thought about was to reuse the existing JIRA Contrib project for letting
users add new ideas (note that we’re going in the direction of trying to remove it by
having each contrib project have its own jira but we could keep the Contrib JIRA project
with a single issue type of type Idea).
However I feel that a top level IDEA project named “Ideas” would be simpler for users to
find and report into. It would be our job (our = the xwiki community) to then move those
jiras to existing projects (when they exist).
At the same time if we keep the “Idea” issue type in existing projects, maybe users will
wonder why the 2 places.
So to sum up we have the following options (for all those options we keep the Idea issue
type in existing jira projects):
A) Do nothing. Just close the issue as won’t fix as I’ve done
for http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-1103 (Bookmarks feature)
B) Create a top level JIRA project called Ideas, as explained above. And move XWIKI-1103
to it.
C) Reuse the Contrib jira project for that (as explained above too). And move XWIKI-1103
to it.
D) Use http://design.xwiki.org for ideas too. Note that on that site we currently ask
users to create a jira issue, after they discuss it on the list.
E) Use another wiki page on xwiki.org called Ideas where we ask users to edit and add
their ideas.
F) Use the Ideas Application on xwiki.org
For D), E) and F) when a dev starts working on the idea he’d create the associated jira
issue.
What do you prefer?
Thanks

So is this project will contain just Ideas that we
can't put somewhere
else?
yes
Since I believe is better to have ideas for Forum
Application reported in
the appropriate project (XAFORUM) and not in the generic Ideas project.
when they exist yes, I agree
[snip]
It’ll never be
implemented there because we decided that the repos of the
xwiki github org are for core stuff only (see my comment on the issue). So
why mislead people into thinking it might be implemented when we know it
won’t?
If we know we won't implement them we can close them, although in time we
managed to implement the important things.
For the record the design.xwiki.org app has an Idea status too so already
we are splitting ideas in multiple places. Thanks,
Caty
