OK, let's stay away from anything "app"! At one point we were calling
this the "gear shop".

Unfortunately, I don't have those notes any more. But I may be
able to resurrect the old site and offer some screenshots. What I
had built was very similar to Atlassian's plugin exchange (though
I see http://plugins.atlassian.com has since undergone a big
facelift), providing a public forum for organizations to post
available addons, workflows, etc.
For this public website, I would really recommend using a well
known content management framework like Drupal to build this, to
make it easier to update the theme and add new features as things
evolve. We could set this up at a subdomain like
http://apps.opencast.org, maybe?

I was politely reminded by my colleague, Michelle Ziegmann, that
she created an exchange presence on our former Matterhorn web
site. It was on my plate to review it and promote it, but sadly
it fell off my radar. It is a good example of why the list is so
important, and that others should be invested and involved. She
alerted me she had done a bunch of research on the site which
hopefully she still has and can share with you.
Best,
Adam

I've dreamed of having a Matterhorn Market Place since
Matterhorn's inception and would be thrilled if you could
take at least modest steps to make this happen. Currently we
have stuff referenced on the wiki and contrib tools in an svn
repo. Some of these tools are well documented but there are
quite a few that are no longer relevant. There was some work
on building this marketplace using Drupal, but for a variety
of reasons it never came to fruition.
One of the most difficult challenges is determining which
version of Matterhorn the "contrib" supports and clear
documentation to install and describe it. Another challenge
is seeding the marketplace with enough goodies to make it a
destination. If there are only a few items submitted and it
remains static for a long time, it ceases to be worthwhile.
If you're looking for examples, I am particularly impressed
with Atlassian's plugin marketplace and management tool, and
I think it would be a great example to strive for.

1. Matterhorn Market Place
I have rich knowledge in Java, Javascript and HTML which
is required for
this idea. And I am very interested to design and
implement a market place
for Matterhorn.
For this project, I understand that a website should be
built for market
place, and should be integrated into the current admin
UI. But I am not
clear about the last requirement, which is "people can
upload the modules
workflow definitions, etc. that they want to offer", does
it mean that the
customer can offer suggestion or requirement so that
Matterhorn can serve
them better? Could you please elaborate more on this?
