Core jmeter "lacks" today of: - Excellent reporting (until we implement one bugzilla for it) - Continuous integration plugin (like maven one) - Cloud open source ready solution
This page tells users which plugins to use for this in the Open source field and for now only mentionned some kind of de facto standards. Besides, All implementors of these plugins are regular contributors of JMeter and I think they deserve a special mention. Furthermore there plugin follow jmeter releases and this is a good thing. Regarding Wiki, today it is highly outdated in terms of content, anybody can write anything meaning content is not really managed and controlled by us. Finally I find it personaly rather very slow and not sexy at all. Felix has build a nice RWD website and I spent some time updating the docs. All this to say that removing this page would kind of annoy me. I think JMeter has a nice community that we need to preserve and make bigger, wether open source (not only Apache) or even commercial(which is not against Apache policy from my understanding). We are all aware that we have a huge work to do on JMeter and the more we are the better it is. Regards Philippe > Vladimir > -- Cordialement. Philippe Mouawad.
