[xwiki-devs] Documenting how to contribute XAR XWiki extensions.
Hi all, Today I worked with Mohamed to release an extension (TotemApplication) to the extension manager and he wrote an excellent tutorial for uploading a xar file so that is is accessible from the extension manager. http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/ContributingExtensions I'd like to propose we move this to a more official location than /Drafts/ since at this point it's the only end-to-end tutorial on contributing XAR extensions. WDYT? Caleb -- Satire is the escape hatch from the cycle of sorrow, hatred and violence. #JeSuisCharlie
Hi Caleb, Great initiative from you and great work from Mohamed! We can always use more documentation and this one was missing. +1 for promoting it from drafts into extensions.xwiki.org itself as a tutorial/help or, better yet, on the same line, in the Repository Application [1] itself either just as documentation/tutorial on the e.x.o page or even as an XWiki document within the application which can be linked to inside the application (on the homepage or something), since all of that applies to any instance of the Repository Application, not just e.x.o. (in this case we might need to factor out the instructions on creating a user). Thanks, Eduard P.S.: My "ODD" reflex drove me to perform some cleanup and rewording here and there on the document to give it a bit of polishing :) ---------- [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Repository+Application On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 6:10 PM, Caleb James DeLisle <[email protected]> wrote:

+1 to put this tutorial somewhere more visible on extensions.xwiki.org (only there for now I think) note: it talks a lot about XAR extensions but there is nothing really specific to XAR in it (except for the fact that you usually do real releases for jars) On Sat, Feb 14, 2015 at 1:29 AM, Eduard Moraru <[email protected]> wrote:

Yeah, I also wanted to point that out. Thanks, Eduard
