New Community Add-Ons Site
The new community add-ons site is now live which aims to replace the current contributions section on the support site by providing additional features to help developers maintain their add-on packages.
The new site will be rolled out in 3 stages with the first stage contemplating the existing contributions section. In addition, community members and developers can help clean the structure of add-on packages by reporting uploads to be removed.
The following changes are planned for the second and third stages of updating the new site:
2nd Stage Updates:
- register_globals compatibility flag for 2.2-RC1 and 2.2-Final installations
- Maintainers can assign their add-ons as public or private to allow or disallow additional uploads from other community members
- If an add-on is private, maintainers can assign other community members as maintainers who are allowed to upload files to the package
3rd Stage Updates:
- Allow maintainers to edit descriptions
- Allow maintainers to link their uploads to a forum topic (for support)
- Allow maintainers to upload screenshots of the add-on in action
- Allow maintainers to link to other add-ons as a “related” feature
- Allow community members to adopt an inactive add-on

We look forward to rolling out the additional features in the coming weeks and look forward to the additional suggestions the community has for improving the experience of finding, downloading, and contributing additional add-on packages.
