[TYPO3-dev] Checks for extension quality

[François Suter]

Hi all,

In tonight's Documentation Team meeting, we discussed what could be done 
to help extension developers catch obvious problems with their 
documentation.

Actually it is quite well-documented [1] and maybe it's enough if people 
are just pointed to that resource. But maybe - more generally - we could 
have a tool which makes some extension quality assessments, some of 
which could be related to documentation. It could be done by the TER 
(and I opened a ticket to that effect [2], just to start a discussion), 
but it could also be a TYPO3 extension or some additional feature of the 
Extension Builder, for example.

Here are the points that could be checked relating to documentation:

- no documentation at all
- still using OOo format
- no README.rst or no Documentation/Index.rst
- folder Documentation.tmpl not renamed (from Extension Builder)

Note that we are not planning to develop anything ourselves (we don't 
even have enough manpower to maintain the whole official documentation). 
I just wanted to raise that idea to see if anyone picks it up.

Cheers
