Re: [xwiki-users] Hosting xwiki related source code (was Re: Latex html in editor for math formulas?)

The more I think about the more I like idea b) below. This means there would be 2 options for anyone wanting to contribute code: 1) If the person is interested in xwiki in general, the best is the contribute it in xwiki's SVN itself and have the person be made a committer 2) if the person is interested only in a specific thing, like a macro he has developed, a plugin, an app, and is looking for a place where he/she can contribute with others on it, then this special forge project is the perfect place. Now we need to find a name for it and then creating it is quick and easy. I propose to name it "xlet" which means an xwiki extension in general. Any other idea?

WDYT? Thanks -Vincent PS: for those who are maven afficionado, this is equivalent to the mojo project at codehaus.
