Item1223: HeadlinesPlugin needs to be imported and made available to compete with (tm)wiki
Priority: Normal
Current State: Closed
Released In:
Target Release: n/a
Applies To: Extension
Component:
Branches:
It is clear that
HeadlinesPlugin becomes part of (tm)wiki default extension suite.
Even if we do not decide to do the same, we must at least have the plugin available.
Not only have we not been updating it. The original author (Peter) has been extending it and noone else has shown any sign to wanting to port over the enhancements.
There is a 2nd author on the plugin but according to some discussions here on Foswiki it is not correct to add your own name to another persons plugin just because you enhance it a bit or fix some bugs. I see Peter as the correct author as he created it and is still maintaining it. And therefore I see it correct to port it over as a fork to Foswiki.
It is vital for our marketing position that we have all the plugins (tm)wiki ships with in the same or
better versions.
I will now upgrade our SVN repository to same state as (tm)wiki and namespace change it over.
I will not enhance it further but leave it in feel free to modify mode.
