As regards name of extensions: I've just found that integration with
external repositories is called as "Connector":
- Extension Repository Connector - XWiki -
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Extension%20Module/Rep…
- Extension Repository Connector - Maven -
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Extension%20Module/Rep…
So according to this convention, names for my new extension would be:
- Extension Repository Connector - Bintray
- Extension Repository Connector - Pypi
- Extension Repository Connector - NPM
This "Extension Repository" part - however implies that this extension
might be related with Extensions Repository Application (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Repository%20Applicati…),
but well maybe it's not that misleading :P
WDYT?

I'm not a big fan of the very vague "Integration" term in this
context. Does not say much about what the extension does, even when
you know what Pypi is (which might not be so obvious for Java folks).
I think I would prefer something like "Pypi Extensions Support" but
not sure either. Maybe others have some ideas ? Anyway you have time
for the extension display name which will be important when you do
your first release mostly.
Ok - makes sense ;) "xxxxx Extensions Support" sounds ok as well.

I will create 3 repositories.
For the repositories names I was thinking about:
* repository-pypi
* repository-bintray
* repository-pypinpm
which is in line with the current "<type>-<name>" based naming on
http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HChoosingthename.
WDYT ?
It's ok. Will I have rights to those repos?

nrepositories
is fine
for this IMO. It can be as low level as you want. Once you
made your first release then documentation will go to your new
extension documentation page on extensions.xwiki.org.
Each extension gets a dedicated space on
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ so you have
plenty of room to put as many details as you want and keep something
hight level with links to the details in the extension home page.
Ok, then I will put documentation on desing page.
