Definition of a Recommended Extension

A Recommended Extension is an Extension that has the following characteristics:

• Not a core Extension (i.e. not bundled by default in the base XWiki Distribution) - All core extensions are recommended by default
• The Extension is meant for users or admins (but not for developers)
• 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.
• Actively supported by one or several known persons
  • Questions on the list are answered
  • Releases are done regularly and at least 1 release exists
  • Bugs get fixed regularly
  • The extension has to continue to satisfy the following criteria to keep being recommended
    • There have been no bug issue updated within the past rolling 365 days. JQL = project = “xxx” AND updated >= -365d and type = Bug
    • 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 = project = "xxx" AND updated >= -365d and resolution = Fixed. 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.
• 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)
• Presents a polished aspect and is easy to use
• Mostly follows the best practices. Important aspects that must be followed:
  • Technical pages are hidden
  • Extension is registered in the Applications Panel (when it has a user UI)
  • Pages are written in XWiki Syntax 2.0+
  • Works with the supported browsers
  • Works with the supported databases
  • Works with the supported Servlet Containers
