As I have mentioned, the excerpt is generally identical or at least similar to the POM description or /index.jelly, so why not use those instead? (You need an index.jelly anyway.) > the motivation for scraping the Wiki was to "crowd-source" the > categorizations of plugins This does not make much sense to me. The plugin author is well placed to decide on a category, just as they would decide on a proper display name and so on. If the “crowd” wants to adjust that, well then we have pull requests. > it's not practical at this late > in game when we have 800+ plugins that do not have such metadata to begin > with. I think it is practical. As a one-time batch task we scrape up existing tags and record those in the UC generation tool as historical fallback values; and edit the POMs of @jenkinsci plugins to define the current labels (just like Nicolas did a batch update of repo definitions a couple years back). Subsequent plugin releases would use the value defined in the POM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
