Goals

Strengthen the Ecosystem

•  Make it easier for users to find plugins

•  Make it easier for plugin developers to get plugins out there

The problem

Good plugins are hard to find

•  Scattered around different Atlassian and third party sites

•  Infrequently updated, inconsistently displayed

•  Little or no feedback for user reviews, amount of usage, etc.

Where we’re coming from…

And where we’ve gone…

Demonstration

Other Changes

•  A single repository for all product plugins

•  Plugin xml etc no longer served by legacy repository

•  Developers no longer have to worry about editing XML metadata in SVN

•  Confluence.atlassian.com (CAC) still used for documentation, not for primary plugin browsing

•  Interaction with the Plugin Exchange Manager…

Plugin Exchange Manager •  Universal plugin manager for all Atlassian products

•  Interacts directly with Plugin Exchange Server to query for available plugins, compatibility, etc.

•  Allows you to browse Plugin catalog from within the application

• Users see the same content, ratings, reviews and links that are in PAC. Authors only have to maintain one set of data.
