As some of you might have noticed, there's been a lot of work done on the plugin site over the last year to upgrade it and get it much more usable for people. As such I wanted to give it a nudge to get people to take a look at it again, and provide feedback.
- Redirecting from wiki to plugin site.
- We did a mass import, and now watching logs over the last few months to catch any we've missed.
- If you notice any google links that are not redirecting, please make an infra ticket with the plugin component
- Speed
- We've switched techs to move the system that was very sluggish to something that gets pretty good performance scores
- We've also moved plugins.jenkins.io and www.jenkins.io to a cdn so things should stay fast wherever you are.
- Release notes
- We rolled out a new feature that will pull release notes from github release pages (hope to expand that soon)
- Issues
- We've also started pulling in issues from jira onto the plugins page
How can you help?
- Continue to try it out and report bugs.
- Site issue? - https://github.com/jenkins-infra/plugin-site
- Content issue? - Create a Jira Issue. Lots of plugin authors have been moving docs to github README files, so you can actually contribute there directly with pull requests (hope to make it easier in the future)
- Lend a Hand
- Lots of issues labeled 'good first issue' across the jenkins project including but not limited:
- Plugin site backend - https://github.com/jenkins-infra/plugin-site-api/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22
- Plugin site frontend - https://github.com/jenkins-infra/plugin-site/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22
- Could always use UI/UX help, don't worry if there's no issue for it. Submit an issue or PR.
- Help plugin authors migrate docs from wiki to github - https://jenkins-wiki-exporter.jenkins.io/progress - See https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/publishing/wiki-page/#migrating-from-wiki-to-github and https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2019/10/21/plugin-docs-on-github/ for more information
- Just be you
