What I proposed in this thread was to do option 1 as described at: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9583?focusedCommentId=93094&page=com… Now I’m still hesitating about doing option 2 (ie move as an extension but without refactoring much the existing integration), see: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9583?focusedCommentId=93096&page=com… Should I still do option 1 or do you think option 2 is better. Option 2 is bit more work but it boils down to whether we consider this feature to be core or not. We shouldn’t move it outside of platform and to contrib if it’s to bring it back later on.
