Hello

I followed the instructions given in the wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion) and successfully built the modules. Further I also studied some more articles from the wiki to get an idea of how the plugins work. I also cloned the repo  https://github.com/mamacdon/mamacdon.github.com and studied the code of how the present plugin repository works. Presently I am experimenting with plugins and the portal.

I understood the idea of the github approach. But I am still not sure of any implementation details. Please share any such ideas. 

It would be quite helpful if I get some entry level or mentored bugs or some junior jobs, so that I can get a better idea of the codebase and also the Orion contribution workflow.

regards

Hi, thanks for your interest.

So as it is right now, we have a member on our team who has a github repository that contains the list of plugins available for Orion.

You can see the list here:  http://mamacdon.github.com  and the source for it here:  https://github.com/mamacdon/mamacdon.github.com

I haven't got a complete list of things we'd like but what I'm looking for is a more 'professional' looking site, perhaps with categories that plugins fall into.

There are several examples, if you go to http://marketplace.eclipse.org or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/extensions/  or anything like these where they are providing plugins or extensions to a product.

I think we should maintain a GitHub approach for now and somehow have it by pull-request that developers submit their plugins to the list.  This means good documentation on how to do this as well.

Lastly, inside Orion itself we might want to have more than one landing option for getting plugins.  At the moment, "Get Plugins" is just hard coded to go to the current GitHub page.  Perhaps all PlugIn sites could provide a plugin (hmm, kinda meta) that adds to a list of potential places to get plugins.  I have been talking to companies that want to run Orion but inside their firewall and they'd like to host the plugins they want separate from the ones we have at the existing site.

That's just a few ideas for the moment.  I'm sure others have more.

Hi

I am a ICT undergrad student from India and I want to participate in GSoC 2013. I have been using eclipse orion for quite some time and I like it very much. I want to get involved with its development. Please let me know more about the idea of app store or portal for orion plugins as mentioned here http://wiki.eclipse.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2013_Ideas#Eclipse_Orion:_Create_a_app_store_or_portal_for_Orion_plugins
