Hi! As you might have noticed, Alan has announced two early-version plugins for Taverna 2.1.2.
If you installed any of these you might also have noticed that we now have three different plugin sites, which I'll briefly explain: * Official myGrid plugins * Third-party plugins * Prototype plugins "Official myGrid plugin" are official extensions to Taverna from the myGrid team, with source code and build/release under our control. Before such plugins are official, they might be in alpha or beta testing and available from "Prototype". "Third-party" is where you come in. The intention is to there list any third-party plugins that might generally be interesting to Taverna users. This should remove the need for users to have to add your plugin-site (although they might still do so). If you as a developer want to have your plugin listed under "Third-party", simply drop a line to [email protected] or this mailing list, attaching the plugin file (like the one on [1]) - and we'll test it and make it available under [2]. (There is no fancy portal for this, we would just put the file in the magic folder..). We can make a copy of the JARs/POMs from your Maven repository in case your server is on a restricted connection. I'm not quite sure what licensing we would have to require for your plugin to be listed, as of currently all our plugins are LGPL 2.1 like Taverna, so at least if your plugin is LGPL 2.1 it should be OK. For other cases we might have to find a way to ask the user to review the licence (similar to plugin installation in Eclipse). It is possible to include a little description of your plugin that should mention the license and a URL for more info, perhaps that would work for the other cases? So, feel free to let us know if you would like your plugin to be listed! You might also be honoured with a link from the Taverna/myGrid home pages.
