Hi devs, I’ve just had a quick chat with Edy and I found that we had a difference of opinion on the Code subspace practice.
On https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPractices we say: "Technical pages must be put in a subspace named Code” Now Edy says that this should be done only for data-generating apps. It’s not my recollection that this rule was only for this case and this is what I’d like to discuss here. For example, I’ve noticed that ActiveInstalls has all technical pages under ActiveInstalls, see https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/tree/053f0a2757cea18a5916632a58c6046ba61954cd/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-activeinstalls/xwiki-platform-activeinstalls-server/xwiki-platform-activeinstalls-server-ui/src/main/resources/ActiveInstalls I would fix it to have only the WebHome remain under ActiveInstalls and move all the technical pages under ActiveInstalls.Code. The only case where it could make sense to not have a Code subspace would be when the app has no UI at all. Even in this case, you might argue that we should always have a home to provide a description about the content of the space. So right now I’m personally in favor of continuing the rule we defined in the best practices: "Technical pages must be put in a subspace named Code” WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
