plugins that are not in the subversion yet

[Stefan Groschupf <sg...@media-style.com>]

Hi,

there are a set of plugins in the issue tracking that are not (yet)  
for any reasons part of the official sources.
To not lose these plugins I would love to suggest, using the wiki  
page 'plugin central' a place to 'store' the plugins, so users can  
download and use the plugins without patching and building  sources.
http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/PluginCentral

Since the wiki is ASF as well I guess the code and all libraries need  
Apache licensing as well, so in worst case I guess it is ok to link  
to external download location.
If people agree I would at least move my contributed plugins to this  
page?.

Any comments?

Stefan

Hi,

I'd keep the plugins with the code, as Doug suggested. I am also 
slightly confused because I remember writing a description of the plugin 
some time ago and now the plugin central again lists the clustering 
plugin as an empty reference. Argh.

Anyway, I'm loaded with work recently and didn't have time to upgrade 
the clustering plugin to the trunk's head. If there are any 
compilation-related problems with it, please let me know at my private 
address and I'll find a spare minute. Otherwise it'll just have to wait 
(unless somebody else wants to take over?).

We should avoid keeping multiple copies, as they'll get out of sync.  An 
alternative might be to keep these in JIRA, but stored in such a way 
that a single query can retrieve them all.  That way there's only one 
copy, which makes things easier to manage.  Or we could post the patch 
to the wiki and just add a link to JIRA.
