I saw in this presentation <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vPUMe3lzfo> that plugin ratings will be introduced in Jenkins 2.0. So far, Jenkins relies on the content generated by the *backend-update-center2*, which is basically (afaik) a summary of the plugins available in a specified artifact repository. Jenkins Wiki provides further info about individual plugins, including the downloads graph that is planned to be embedded into the Plugin Manager itself...
Still, I couldn't figure out what is exactly behind those ratings. Who will be rating the plugins? Through which channel (Plugin Manager itself? Or an external website?)? How are the rates fed back into the Jenkins Update Site? Where are the kept? -- Just to contextualize the question: my company hosts its own subset of Jenkins plugins. We are very much concerned about the reliability of the plugins we use from both internal and public repositories. It would be nice if we had some control over the ratings for our purpose, or at least to be able to implement such rating system for our own plugins. (Not sure if I should ask in the Dev or User group. Decided to bring it here because the question is pretty much about what is happening in the background.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
