1 | A Recommended Extension is an Extension that has the following characteristics: | ||
2 | |||
3 | * Not a core Extension (i.e. not bundled by default in the base XWiki Distribution) | ||
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. | ||
6 | * Actively supported by one or several known persons (i.e. bugs get fixed in a timely manner, questions on the list are answered, releases are done regularly - several times per year) | ||
7 | * Works at least with the latest stable XWiki versions and with the LTS version | ||
8 | * Presents a polished aspect and is easy to use | ||
9 | * Mostly follows [[the best practices>>dev:Community.ApplicationDevelopmentBestPractices]]. Important aspects that must be followed: | ||
10 | ** Technical pages are hidden | ||
11 | ** Extension is registered in the Applications Panel (when it has a user UI) | ||
12 | ** Pages are written in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ | ||
13 | ** Works with the [[supported browsers>>doc:dev:Community.BrowserSupportStrategy]] | ||
14 | ** Works with the [[supported browsers>>doc:dev:Community.DatabaseSupportStrategy]] | ||
