Extension Owner: "seo"

by Benjamin Mack-4 :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hey developers,

as some of you might know, I've been working on the "seo_basics"
extension in the last year. However, the feature that will come along in
the next months will go over the "basics", so I've been wondering about
the Extension Key "seo" which would suit way better as a defacto
standard for SEO management. Although there are no releases of this
extension on the TER yet, I found out the owner of the extension key
(thanks to the typo3.org team) and sent him emails about the key, to
multiple addresses and multiple times. But without a single answer.

So, I'd like to address this issue to the extension coordination team
what to do in this case. I would love to take over the extension and
make an awesome SEO extension that will be a good out-of-the-box
solution with some advanced features.

Could somebody help me what I should do in this case? thanks.

All the best,
benni.

Hello Benjamin,

we don't have a defined time-frame, when a extensionkey should be
transfered, but when the time is "long enough" it's not a problem.

There's not extension in TER called "seo", so just the key is registered.

How long are you waiting for response now?

Cheers!
Daniel

Yeah, that's why I thought it would be an easy thing to transfer (IF the
owner responded). However I also wanted to check if the author is in the
process of creating his own seo extension, merging our works together
(that's also what I asked in my first email), but it seems like there is
no process otherwise I would have seen either an answer or a published
extension ;-)...

First email got out on 05/27/2008.

Imho we should decide a solution.

I think 3 months with 3 emails not responded is enough to transfer an
extension key. If there is a reason for a longer abstinence it could be
retransfered (for special cases)

Who is the authority in such case, typo3.org-team? core-team?

And 6 months if it's more than just a key ?

3 email, 3 months for a key
6 emails, 6 months for a full extension + New code to show fixes and
features and review of the code by typo3.org or Core member ???

No easy answer but rule must be decided and published.

Hey,

maybe we should just do it as we did now. If somebody wants to take over
an extension or an extension key, we can discuss this in this newsgroup.
That's what it's for, right? :)

Everybody who is an *active* extension developer reads newsgroups or at
least answers his / her emails in a period of (in this case) 3 months.

If nobody objects about a proposal on what to do in a certain case (it's
not too common I think), the transfer can be made by the ECT bosses.

Sometimes it doesn't make sense to have strict rules, because of design
issues of the code of extension A and author B or something...

As it doesn't have to do with the core at all, I'd like to leave the
core team alone in this one :) They have other things to worry about.

Hello Steffen, Patrick, Benjamin

OK, I think we have a good solution for such problems now. We shouldn't
discuss big threads about this single problem :-) I've put this now in
the ECT-wiki on forge -- please check it, if I wrote nonsense.
http://forge.typo3.org/wiki/extension-ect/Extensionkey_transfer

---------------------------------
h1. Extensionkey transfer

The question: Extensionkey-owner XY doesn't response, can someone
transfer it to me?

h2. 1. Write emails and wait

_2008-09-20 (Steffen Kamper, Patrick Gaumond, Daniel Brüßler)_

When NOTHING exists in TER: 3 emails and 3 months waiting for an
extensionkey

When code is in TER: 6 months and 6 emails and discusion-with-decision
in ECT-mailinglist to transfer it

h2. 2. Discussion-with-decision in ECT extension coordination mailinglist

If somebody wants to take over an extension or an extension key we can
discuss this in this newsgroup

---------------------------------


next step: Who's got the best contact to Robert?

Cheers!
Daniel

Email is no secure way. Any email may get lost in a spam filter.
There should be also a telephone call if it is entered in the extension
manual or somewhere else.

oh no - please no private data in em_conf.
If email change, typo3.org team knows because of account data.

But it's right - ECT-Team should be set in CC, author can ask for
verifying email address if no answer after 1 month or 2 mails.

Developer should take care of availibility, otherwise he looses his claim.

Hello,

our email-adress is the mailinglist-address :-)

is it really possible to put it as CC?

I think the other way is possible: To write a new entry in the
mailinglist and put the author-address as second "to".

Cheers!

Hello all,

when we're ready with this discussion&decision
http://forge.typo3.org/wiki/extension-ect/Extensionkey_transfer

We can write a news-entry on forge and news.typo3.org - so it's clear
for future questions.

Cheers!

Wanna call me in Québec, Canada ?

Remember also not to call me at "Germany time" because at "your" 9 AM
it's 3 AM for me...   ;)

Hi Benjamin,

just one critical remark to your extension.
Why do you want to include so many different things in only one extension?
I really love like some of the features in your extension, but in
combination it puts me of from installing the extension. In my eyes
these are completely different things:

1) separate field for title-tag per page
2) easy keywords and description editing
3) Google Sitemap (XML)
4) clean output in the HTML Header
5) Sitemap
...

I think about:
1) can be solved easily by pure TS - Just get the "subtitele" field
shown in the <title> tag.
4) I use sourceoptimization for this task.

3+5)SiteMap and Google Sitemap are each cool features but in my eyes
completely independent. They should be two independent extensions.

2) This is a really unique and very cool feature of your extension. I
would love to use this one, but am put of by all the other features that
I really don't need and want.

What do you think? I would love to hear about your reasons.

greetings

Ron
