Development discussion for BeeWikiPlugin

-- JanPrichystal - 21 Nov 2005

Thank you Jan for supporting the TWikiCommunity by releasing this Plugin here!

I made some changes to the Plugin topic, feel free to take this into the next release. BTW, the Plugin topic states OLAP; the web site talks about ROLAP methodology (relational on-line analytical processing). Is OLAP correct?

Suggestion: There is a good chance that %REPORT{...}% and %REPORT_PARAMS{...}% conflict with other Plugins, or even with a future TWiki release. To avoid namespace issues, better to name them something like %BEEREPORT{...}% and %BEEREPORT_PARAMS{...}%, respectively. Also, the parameter names are lower case by the TWiki convention.

Thank you for your ideas. Term OLAP is ok. I'll change REPORT to BEEREPORT.

-- JanPrichystal - 05 Dec 2005

I made requested changes. %REPORT% changed to %BEEREPORT% and %REPORT_PARAMS% to %BEEREPORT_PARAMS%. I also changed name of parameters to lowercase.

Nice.

By convention, Plugins are packaged as ZIP files. This is more commonly used (can be unpacked on any platform), and the download statistics for the TWiki package show that .zip is more used than tar.

Also, how about measuring and documenting the PluginBenchmarks numbers?

-- PeterThoeny - 05 Dec 2005

Zip file added. I hope tar.gz is also useful.

Thanks VasekDovrtel for updating the plugin.

I made some changes to the "Plugin Info" table, and added the "Related topics" links. For user names it is better to use Interwiki links pointing to twiki.org so that they will work at sites where this plugin is installed. Please feel free to take these changes back into the next plugin release.
