Feedback on MercurialContrib

-- TimJanssens - 27 Apr 2007

This is a very promising extension, very much in line with the TWikiMission. Thank you very much TimJanssens and WoutMertens for sharing this add-on with the TWikiCommunity!

Quick feedback:

• Possibly better to package as ContribPackage since it extends TWiki with an additional Perl module. E.g. as MercurialContrib.
• I made some changes to the topic, feel free to roll this back into the next release:
  • Write Add-on intstead of broken AddOn
  • Use TWiki: prefix for Interwiki-links that work also outside of twiki.org, e.g. when installed at a site
  • Added a more descriptive SHORTDESCRIPTION

Thanks Tim for repackaging it as a Contrib. I fixed the dev and appraisal topics.

Thank you for the comments and adjustments Peter, i'm still quite new to TWiki and especially the contribution procedure.

I added the synchronisation script and instructions to the documentation topic.

How about adding the script and the TWiki topic to the package so that everything is there? Add this to the package: data/TWiki/MercurialContrib.txt and tools/mercurialcontrib_hgpush.pl, respectively. Name the script so that it can be identified where it belongs to, once installed. If there are other docs, scripts or templates, add them too.
