The page is now live! See third-party integration plugins
Rationale:
- trademark
- avoid fragmentation
- up-to-date
Fragmentation:
- Wordpress - 2 different extensions
- Joomla - 4 different extensions
- contrast with Drupal, MediaWiki, Typo3 which each have 1
Out-of-date:
- com_piwik 2.2.2 (an extension for Joomla) includes a repackaged Piwik 0.9, with a couple of installation files modified (causing the manifest warning)
It would probably help to have #1586 ('headless install').

I don't think adopting is doable, it will being a lot of overhead for us and not necessarily work out well with plugin authors.
However I fully agree we must start reviewing the plugins, at least get in touch with all plugin authors. I have asked someone to compile the list of all existing plugins author emails. We will then check, that all plugins are working with latest version of Piwik, and advertise them more openly on piwik.org
As to the problem with multiple plugins, we should pick the best one if possible. If few plugins have pros and cons, we can maybe advertise 2 per platform, but document what is best in each etc.
The main goal of this is
- to advertise more clearly on piwik.org all the available plugins (product logo, plugin URL, authors contacts
- to support the work of all the Piwik community and ensure their work can be found easily by all new piwik users browsing piwik.org
let me know any feedback!
Updating the task title. hopefully we can do this new page in the new piwik.org redesign :) I think a page listing all main integration plugins with the platform logos.
Anthon from the team has prepared an extensive list of such plugins, so we would need to finalize the list (please ask for private access), pick the "top" plugins to put in the list, and create the new page on Piwik.org
If anyone is interested please shout :)

This can be closed I think?
indeed! :) The page is now live at third-party integration plugins
Btw halfdan would be great to see your IPV6 plugin added as a ticket with link to the code, in: http://dev.piwik.org/trac/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&group=status&milestone=Third+Party+Piwik+Plugins
It's a really cool little plugin ;)
