Publish AppWithinMinutes App to Extension Repo

Last modified by Marius Dumitru Florea on 2012/07/30 11:24

The Idea

The idea is to allow users to publish their own applications created with AppWithinMinutes.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. The user creates his application.
  2. Once the application is fully completed (several fields, description), AppWithinMinutes live table shows a new action possibility that allow the creator (only ?) to publish the application. We can add an entry to extension manager (administration left menu, under Add extensions): Share applications (same look).
  3. Once he clicked, we allow users to choose the pages he wants to commit : class, template, sheet and space home page by default.
  4. If the user is already connected on extension.xwiki.org, the process begins, else, the user has to fill in his credentials/create a new account.
  5. Once he is connected, he is redirected to extensions.xwiki.org with some fields already filled in, but let him fill the others (summary, compatibility, etc.).

Difficulties/Questions to improve

  1. How to prevent lots of bad applications
  2. How to merge with extensions manager

Result
