-====== Plugin pages - Archived discussions ======
-==== Structure of (new) plugin pages ====
-Mailinglist-Topic - Another major task we are facing is the quality of the different plugin-pages. While some represent a well-kept structure and content other have no or at least some unstructured content.
-We should write down some points to create a "policy" for the plugin pages how the should look like and what have to be documented on it.
-(The top10 pages should give us a good start and inspirations.)
-=== Brainstorming ===
-(Not all points are appropriate to all plugins)
-== Page structure ==
-  * Fully filled header-formula
-  * Overview of what is the plugin for
-  * Screenshot of the plugin in action (Demo page?)
-  * Changelog section
-  * Download / Configuration / Installation Howto
-  * Usage / Examples
-  * Information about bugs
-  * Certain section where the user can write down / discuss about the plugin. (IMHO: There's no need for the user to edit lines above)
-Questions:
-  * What would be a nice way to get masses of comments in a more tidy way?
-    * See e.g. [[plugin:note#comments]]
-  * How should be plugin-pages handled, when the offered plugin ownes security leaks and/or destroys the wiki installation?
-    * e.g. [[plugin:pagemove]]
-My suggestion for basic layout of [[teams:plugin homepages]]  --- [[user>HåkanS]] //2010/10/16 20:20//
-(I think the users are searching, reading summary, download, tries, doh!, read examples, tries IRC, read syntax/config, get it half working, post comments in discussion, eventually post in the forum) Changelog are for the careful few who reads the whole page before installing ;-)
-I guess on the basic layout, at least for plugins that get a lot of comment, I would suggest that the discussion go to a separate page which is linked to from the plugin's home page. It just appeals to my sense of order.  The official stuff goes on the home page plus anything that becomes official which is taken out of the discussion material.  And now that Andi has implemented subscriptions, maybe we can include an instruction on the plugin template that encourages plugin authors to subscribe to their plugin pages.  That could help to keep things under control.--- [[user>turnermm]] //2010/10/22 05:40//
