Hello.
It seems that
platform/trunks/core/xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/plugin/flickr plugin
is not used by anything in XWiki. It seems to be old and deprecated.
I propose to remove it from xwiki-core.
The things to discuss would be :
Topic I.
Where to move it:
1.Deprecate it (move it to contrib retired)
2.Remove it from everywhere (delete code)
3.Move it to CORE plugins
4.Rewrite it nicely as a service and have it :
1.as core module
2.in contrib sandbox
+1 for 1 for the moment, but I'd like to see a 4 in the future.
While we're at moving stuff to the contrib/retired, several other
plugins are really old as well: adwords and alexa from the xwiki-plugins
branch, google, graphviz, svg, test, userdirectory, usertools,
PatternPlugin. Some of those are still used in the wild, like the
graphviz plugin.
Topic II.
Relation to the platform
1.bundle it by default
2.not bundle it by default
I am +1 for I.2 and II.2 .
+1 for 2. It's buggy code with potential security holes, bloating the
product with unused features.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Sorin
