1.1 | 1 | A Recommended Extension is an Extension that has the following characteristics: |
| |
2.1 | 2 | |
| |
3.2 | 3 | * Not a core Extension (i.e. not bundled by default in the base XWiki Distribution) - All core extensions are recommended by default |
| |
1.1 | 4 | * The Extension is meant for users or admins (but not for developers) |
| 5 | * We don't recommend extensions that are installed as dependencies of other recommended extensions, unless there are end-user use cases for using them directly. | ||
| |
4.1 | 6 | * Actively supported by one or several known persons |
| 7 | ** Questions on the list are answered | ||
| 8 | ** Releases are done regularly and at least 1 release exists | ||
| 9 | ** Bugs get fixed regularly | ||
| 10 | ** The extension has to continue to satisfy the following criteria to keep being recommended | ||
| 11 | *** There have been no bug issue updated within the past rolling 365 days. JQL = {{code language='none'}}project = “xxx” AND updated >= -365d and type = Bug{{/code}} | ||
| 12 | *** Or there have been bug issue updated within the past rolling 365 days BUT there have also been issue fixed during those past 365 days. JQL = {{code language='none'}}project = "xxx" AND updated >= -365d and resolution = Fixed{{/code}}. Note: that we consider here that even if the closed issues are not bug ones, it’s enough to justify that there’s been activity to the extension. | ||
| |
4.2 | 13 | * Works at least with the latest stable XWiki versions and with the LTS version (when possible. Sometimes an extension will require some new API only available in the stable version) |
| |
1.1 | 14 | * Presents a polished aspect and is easy to use |
| 15 | * Mostly follows [[the best practices>>dev:Community.ApplicationDevelopmentBestPractices]]. Important aspects that must be followed: | ||
| 16 | ** Technical pages are hidden | ||
| 17 | ** Extension is registered in the Applications Panel (when it has a user UI) | ||
| 18 | ** Pages are written in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ | ||
| |
2.1 | 19 | ** Works with the [[supported browsers>>doc:dev:Community.BrowserSupportStrategy]] |
| |
3.1 | 20 | ** Works with the [[supported databases>>doc:dev:Community.DatabaseSupportStrategy]] |
| |
3.3 | 21 | ** Works with the [[supported Servlet Containers>>doc:dev:Community.ServletContainerSupportStrategy.WebHome]] |
| |
1.1 | 22 | |
