Ok - makes sense ;) "xxxxx Extensions Support" sounds ok as well.
GSoC Coding Part Finally starts tomorrow, so the
highest time to get down
to work.
I created modest design page where I put summary of general idea of my
project:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/
Moreextensionrepositories
You should probably add some link to
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManagerRepositories
which have more of less the same goal than your page.
To start coding I need:
1. A confirmed naming pattern for the extensions that I will develop. My
suggestion is "..... Integration" e.g. "Pypi Integration"
"Bintray
Integration" Imho, the names of possible repositories are popular and
verbose enough to impy that the integration is about extension
repository.
What do you think?
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.
2. Repositories on https://github.com/xwiki-contrib One per each
extension
(i.e. external) repository: Bintray, Pypi, NPM.
Is it enough if I ask for
it here or should I create some official request?
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 ?
3. Some space somewhere in XWiki ecosystem where I would be able to
document progress and decisions made - things much more detailed and
low-level that are normally presented on design pages or
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ pages.
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Moreextensionrepositories
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.
Best,
Krzysztof Płachno
