That video captures some exploratory work Gus Reiber has been doing around improving the plugin manager experience. The best way I can think of relating it is that it is like a concept car. It's exploring some ideas which may or may not make it into the production version of things :) The ratings is one of the aspects of Gus' work that I think needs a lot more thought spent on what ratings actually represent before it's implemented and released.. > Still, I couldn't figure out what is exactly behind those ratings.

The update-center.json which would power the plugin manager would need some reference to those ratings in order for the revamped plugin manager to render them. > -- > Just to contextualize the question: my company hosts its own subset of > Jenkins plugins.

If you're willing to share more about how your company manages your own update center, I'd be very interested to hear more about your approach off the list. Cheers - R.
