Hi, I would like to start a vote to move the ratings and collections plugins out of the sandbox, as a first step to make them available in the default XE bundle. We now have some clients that are using these plugins in production, so it is time to make them real plugins. Some history about the ratings and collections plugins. RATINGS: This plugin allows to record ratings about any item, an particular documents. It stores ratings in separate spaces and records the calculated average rating in the document itself. It includes java and groovy hooks to write custom rating calculation. This can be usefull to not calculate a single average but to include the "rating" of the users in the calculation. A skin extension allows to include the ratings selection mecanism in the UI (it's a separate module). As a second step the Ratings plugin and application can be bundled in standard XWiki. COLLECTION: The collection plugin allows to manipulate collections of XWiki documents. The plugin is the basis for the MultiPage Export feature allowing to make a PDF or a XAR of multiple pages. The collection plugin also includes a special activity stream allowing to record changes of a document and all it's childs. The changes are recorded only for documents that match a specific class set in xwiki.cfg. As a second step an application can be published for MultiPage Export on code.xwiki.org . Some changes are still necessary for that to not depend on skin modifications for this to work so it will be done later. Here is my +1 for both.
