find-grepping shows this plugin is not called anywhere in the core or in XEnterprise. In my opinion this is functionality which should be handled at the application level and the plugin model is deprecated. +1 (contrib-retired + not bundled by default.) Caleb Sorin Burjan wrote:

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

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 . WDYT?

+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.

+1 for 2. It's buggy code with potential security holes, bloating the product with unused features.

WDYT?
