Redmine

I know that there's already a list of plugins but I feel like it's missing some info (screenshots particularly). Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining! ;)

The big question being: who would maintain such a list? A now stable plugin might break the with next redmine release, and that's nothing a wiki page will be able to catch on its own… :-)

It has already been discussed in a meeting on IRC. The clean solution would be a specific website such as http://ext.radiantcms.org/ or http://railsplugins.org/. I agree we can't handle correctly everything in a wikipage here on redmine.org, plugins should be evaluated, and marked as working correctly or not with each new stable version of the core.

An other idea is to have a specific redmine instance to run such a website, with a project per plugin. Authors would have limited rights on their projet, to explain how plugin works, track bugs, and tell us the incompatibilities.

We could run such a website under a subdomain or redmine.org, or on redmineplugins.org, a domain I bought some months ago, hoping I would have the time to build a "redmine plugins test service". I can offer it if needed, and I have a VPS which could be sufficient for the beginning.

The main problem is to define what we want, who maintains what, etc.

I think the plugin directory would mostly solve this problem. All plugins could be listed there and if a plugin isn't stable in Redmine 0.9.6, a comment can be added for that. Then it would be easy to see which plugins work on what version of Redmine.

(Once I get some time) I was going to record short screencasts and create a demo site on Heroku for each of my plugins (yes, for every 70+ plugin....). Until then, I've tried to post screenshots of all of my plugins to their Wiki page here, the release announcement, and in the code repository of the plugin itself.
