• New Wiki URL Requirement for Plugins

  Let’s say you’re browsing the 'Available' tab in the Jenkins plugin manager for interesting-looking plugins. How do you learn more about them, preferably without installing them on your production instance? You click the plugin’s name, which usually links to the plugin’s wiki page, of course!

As the use case of Jenkins gets more sophisticated, people started combining jobs to orchestrate ever more complex activities. A number of plugins have been developed to enable all sorts of different ways to...

I think there’s a number of interesting pieces here that could be split into individual plugins for reuse, and possible alignment with existing efforts like Script...
