As regards name of extensions: I've just found that integration with external repositories is called as "Connector": - Extension Repository Connector - XWiki - http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Extension%20Module/Repositories/XWiki/ - Extension Repository Connector - Maven - http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Extension%20Module/Repositories/Maven/
So according to this convention, names for my new extension would be: - Extension Repository Connector - Bintray - Extension Repository Connector - Pypi - Extension Repository Connector - NPM This "Extension Repository" part - however implies that this extension might be related with Extensions Repository Application ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Repository%20Application), but well maybe it's not that misleading :P WDYT?
