In the thread on @flibbles new TW5-graph plugin I suggested that we should feature it as a badge in the HelloThere tiddler on tiddlywiki.com. Now @BurningTreeC has released his resizer plugin which also a beautiful pieces of work.
These plugins will both be of interest to the vast majority of the community, and so I would like to feature them in a new showcase of community plugins/editions shown within one of the default tiddlers on tiddlywiki.com. We could either divide “Find Out More” into two sections, or perhaps replace the current “Community” tiddler. It’s easy to imagine something more complicated but the quickest way to get moving would be to use a grid of badges like the ones currently in the “Find Out More” tiddler. The criteria for including a plugin might include:
- Of interest to a broad subset of the community
- Actively maintained
- Compatible with the latest version of TiddlyWiki
- Recognised as the best plugin in its category or niche
- Decent user documentation
- Open source license
The goal is to encourage users to install plugins that they are likely to find useful.
We will also need a limit of say 4 plugins to be featured at any one time, and a ribbon to show alpha/beta/release (or equivalent wording).
@linonetwo I wondered if there might be data about popularity of plugins that can be extracted from the CPL?
We will need 560x315px thumbnail images and a brief descriptive sentence for each plugin, so @flibbles and @BurningTreeC might want to start thinking about that.
