| 1 | A Recommended Extension is an Extension that has the following characteristics: | ||
| 2 | * Not a core Extension (i.e. not bundled by default in the base XWiki Distribution) | ||
| 3 | * The Extension is meant for users or admins (but not for developers) | ||
| 4 | * We don't recommend extensions that are installed as dependencies of other recommended extensions, unless there are end-user use cases for using them directly. | ||
| 5 | * Actively supported by one or several known persons (i.e. bugs get fixed in a timely manner, questions on the list are answered, releases are done regularly - several times per year) | ||
| 6 | * Works at least with the latest stable XWiki versions and with the LTS version | ||
| 7 | * Presents a polished aspect and is easy to use | ||
| 8 | * Mostly follows [[the best practices>>dev:Community.ApplicationDevelopmentBestPractices]]. Important aspects that must be followed: | ||
| 9 | ** Technical pages are hidden | ||
| 10 | ** Extension is registered in the Applications Panel (when it has a user UI) | ||
| 11 | ** Pages are written in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ | ||
