Michael Osipov commented on DOXIASITETOOLS-164:
-----------------------------------------------
I don't like the commit and the approach. I will tell you why:
- Missing semantics make it impossible to use in a skin
- The new metaheader is useless just like the previous one because there is no
standard semantic for which search engines may read
- People are lazy and believe me, almost no one will update the date manually.
People expect a CMS to do this for them: creation and modification date
- Pages are updates with releases only, it is quite irrelevant then when a
document has been created or updated, it lives from release to release
- A clean approach would query Git/Subversion log
At the end, I would deprecate and remove it after all in 2.0. The information
is of little use for the rendered page. We should ride a dead horse and try to
revive it. Regarding parsing of files, simply abandon the value but do not fail.
> don't use document date from Sink API as creation date but as "date" without
> precision on created or last modified

> Key: DOXIASITETOOLS-164
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIASITETOOLS-164
> Project: Maven Doxia Sitetools
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Site renderer
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
> Fix For: 1.7.1
>
>
> as seen in DOXIA-541, the meaning of the date is not defined in Doxia: then
> it seems it's up to the content writer to choose...
> and it was a wrong choice to name the content of date field of the document
> as {{dateCreation}} variable in DOXIA-315 / DOXIASITETOOLS-20
> [r771801|http://svn.apache.org/r771801] in 2009
> let's start by showing the weak sematic before choosing what to do: creation
> date, last modification date, or even add some more features like multiple
> dates (for example "created : last modified")?
