Talk:ESciDoc Solutions summary
How to make escidoc solutions reusable?[edit]
Currently, our solutions cannot be reused other than forking the projects because there are project-specifics in the source code as opposed to in configuration only.
This page may serve as a place to collect issues about what should be configurable.
Definitions[edit]
The distinction between source code and configuration is understood as the distinction between what can be edited by a user (for a particular installation of a solution) and what comes with the solution package (of course a default configuration can be included in the package).
Obviously, there are more ways to extend the reusability of a solution, e.g. by providing a plugin mechanism.
Basics[edit]
Naming convention[edit]
Project-specifics should not be part of the software. Thus, the names of MPDL projects like virr and faces should not be used as package/file/any names in the solutions developed to address the project's software needs.
