You should probably add some link to http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManagerRepositories which have more of less the same goal than your page. > > To start coding I need: > > 1.

I'm not a big fan of the very vague "Integration" term in this context. Does not say much about what the extension does, even when you know what Pypi is (which might not be so obvious for Java folks). I think I would prefer something like "Pypi Extensions Support" but not sure either. Maybe others have some ideas ? Anyway you have time for the extension display name which will be important when you do your first release mostly. > > 2.

I will create 3 repositories. For the repositories names I was thinking about: * repository-pypi * repository-bintray * repository-pypinpm which is in line with the current "<type>-<name>" based naming on http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HChoosingthename.

It can be as low level as you want. Once you made your first release then documentation will go to your new extension documentation page on extensions.xwiki.org. Each extension gets a dedicated space on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ so you have plenty of room to put as many details as you want and keep something hight level with links to the details in the extension home page. > > > Best, > Krzysztof Płachno -- Thomas Mortagne
