Short Description:
Community discussion about how to improve the Extensions ecosystem
Session Length:
90 Minutes
CMS:
Not CMS-specific
While very robust with more than 1,500 extensions created on top of CiviCRM, the extensions ecosystem is in dire need of improvements on the following points:
-Quality check / Vouching of extensions in the directory
-Maintenance of extensions once they have been released, including bug fixes and version upgrades
-Promotion of extensions to our end-users
One of the perceived issue is that, as the initial version of extensions are often funded by a customer, the issue is then how to fund ongoing maintenance and new releases of extensions in an open-source model
