Hey open source friends! Do you know of any projects that maintain (or help their community maintain) a collection of plugins/extensions/sub-projects/packages/etc that work with the project?

I'm trying to research best practices.

@shauna maybe a bit different than what you are looking for, but @yunohost may fit the bill, allowing people to package apps for the app catalogue.

See: https://yunohost.org/en/packaging_apps

The various integrations are defined in separate repo's.

@shauna I think the does a good job on this, they seem to be very active supporting the community in many ways.

@jaapio @shauna Indeed, we in do a lot for our community. For example:

— Our Security Team also coordinates extension security.

— We have a Best Practices Team

— The Documentation Team is very well coordinated and integrated.

— We also have community team budgets, reimbursement of travel costs to sprints, and budgets backing community ideas.

… just to mention a few.

@shauna Flarum does this in PHP. There are “core” plugins explicitly maintained by the main team, and then a wider network of plugins by others.

@shauna Mozilla and Wordpress are big ones you probably know about but including for completeness; https://extensions.gnome.org/ Wikipedia probably should but afaik it is all fragmentary and unofficial, maybe worth documenting as an antipattern?

@luis_in_brief The gnome links is broken, can you re-share? And if you've got the links to the mozilla and wordpress repos off-hand that'd be great, but I can also dig for them.

@shauna gnome link should be fixed now. User-facing for Mozilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/ WP: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

@shauna and sharing this because it was literally next to your toot in my timeline; example of a much smaller scale approach: https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/111807292106566009

@luis_in_brief thank you - I'll dig into these!
