The Message Sender Macro is defined in https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-messagestream/xwiki-platform-messagestream-ui/src/main/resources/Main/MessageSenderMacro.xml so I don't think we need to move something out of AS. > 3) Move xwiki-platform-watchlist and xwiki-platform-activitystream to > xwiki-attic and update their docs on e.x.o to explain how to put them back > if needed > > IMO we should wait for the next cycle to move the modules out. > Thanks > -Vincent > > > > > Thanks, -- Guillaume Delhumeau (guillaume.delhum...@xwiki.com) Research & Development Engineer at XWiki SAS Committer on the XWiki.org project
