[Vote] Remove Dodo out of the trunk
Hi, Dodo has already been deprecated. Now it's time to decide when do we remove it from the trunk, as it's getting harder to maintain it. Since 1.1 is about having a better wiki, would it be OK to remove it in the 1.1 release? Or should we wait until 2.0? +1 to remove Dodo from the trunk. Thanks, Sergiu -- http://purl.org/net/sergiu

Hmm... I'm not so sure. I think we need several skins. I'd be +1 to remove it from the default wiki. However we do need more than 1 skin. So it could the dodo skin that we keep maintaining or some other skin. I've met several users (not a majority though) that prefer the dodos kin over the albatross one as it's less heavy. So for now, I'm +1 to remove it from the default wiki but I'm also +1 to distribute it separately (we need to decide how we do this: as a zip or as a XAR). Thanks -Vincent
Indeed, I'm not for completely deleting Dodo, but to move it in a separate svn directory. I think this was already decided in a previous poll. On 5/23/07, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

I think we should only move it when we have a build solution for external skins. I have also already proposed a layout for that and it's been accepted so it's just a matter of implementing it. We also need to decide how we package the dodo skin. The best would be a XAR as users would then be able to import new skins easily. But as we discussed previously we need to ensure this works and we need to develop the build tools to transform a skin on the file system into a XWiki skin document. Alternatively we could package it as a zip (much but not as nice for end user and I think it would be nice to have the XAR solution so that we can start releasing extra skins - We also need a skin development guide to encourage users to develop new skins). I'm worried that if we remove the dodo skin without being prepared we'll simply forget about it. -Vincent
