Hi Devs,
As you might know, to complete the integration of xwiki-webdav component in
the XWiki-UI (that is to allow users to edit attachments via webdav), we
needed some support from FoXWiki (on FireFox). Now comes the problem of
where to host FoXWiki.
NOTE : We need a download link to FoXWiki that we can embed inside one of
our js files that will trigger an automatic installation. So, we must host
FoXWiki somewhere before providing webdav functionalities in xwiki UI.
So, we have two options :
1. Host FoXWiki in
addons.mozilla.org :-
With this option, we don't need to worry about automatic updates (it is
automatically handled) and there is a nice web interface that allows us to
manage various versions. But the downside is, each version need to spend
some time on the sandbox (of
addons.mozilla.org) before it becomes public -
some users need review and rate it.
Ex :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2358
2. In
xwiki.org :-
With this option we have to handle everything manually and we need to
provide an update url (which has to be an https url) which will contain
information about updates. The good side of this is that there is no waiting
with this approach.
Any ideas about which approach to be taken ?
Thanks.
