A solution solves a business problem by a leveraging a mixture of Alfresco configuration, Alfresco customization, a collection of add-ons, and consulting services.

There are add-ons for every product of Alfresco, including Share, Records Management, Web QuickStart, and the mobile applications. Developer tools are also included. The directory includes add-ons which are intended to be used with version 3.4 of Alfresco and newer.</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;"> </P><H3 style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px;">Is this add-on updated for the newest version of Alfresco?</H3><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">We do not maintain add-ons or the directory entries. We suggest you contact the add-on maintainer. Each entry contains a link that points to a site where you can get further information about the add-on. We suggest you also encourage the add-on maintainer to update the directory entry.</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">If you are unable to contact the maintainer of the add-on, or if you see something that needs immediate attention, please contact us.</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;"> </P><H3 style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px;">Are the add-ons supported?</H3><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">Unless otherwise indicated, Add-ons are not endorsed or supported by<SPAN> </SPAN><A style="color: #1e88e5; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">Alfresco</A>.</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">Each add-on maintainer can specify a web address where people can get information about support for the add-on. If there is no such link, then it is likely that support is not available. Further information might be available on the project page for that add-on.</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;"> </P><H3 style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px;">Does the directory only contain open source add-ons?</H3><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">The directory contains add-ons under a variety of licenses. The submitter of the add-on can select the license that the project is using, including the option ""proprietary"".</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;"> </P><H3 style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px;">What license to you recommend for an add-on?</H3><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">The appropriate license for your add-on depends a lot on the goals you and your organization have in sponsoring an Alfresco Add-ons project. Evaluating the right choice for your specific circumstances probably requires the assistance of a legal professional. However, we like<SPAN> </SPAN><A style="color: #1e88e5; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative</A><SPAN> </SPAN>because they encourage collaborative development. If you hope to have your Add-on accepted into Alfresco, you would need to select the Apache license,<SPAN> </SPAN><A style="color: #1e88e5; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">or sign a contribution agreement</A>.</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;"> </P><H3 style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px;">Someone else included my add-on in the directory. How do I update the entry?</H3><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">We hope you feel flattered that someone found your add-on useful enough to include it in the directory. If you sign up for a site-account and then contact us, we will be happy to make you the maintainer of the entry.</P><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;"> </P><H3 style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 18px;">I see a problem! How do I contact you?</H3><P style="color: #727174; background-color: #ffffff; border: 0px;">Please contact us about a duplicate add-on or objectionable content. You can reach us by sending email to the<SPAN> </SPAN><A style="color: #1e88e5; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">Alfresco Community Team</A>.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Jun 2018 16:24:25 GMT alfresco 2018-06-12T16:24:25Z About Alfresco Add-ons https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/about-alfresco-add-ons/m-p/1951#M87 Alfresco Add-ons is a directory of enhancements for your Alfresco Products.What is an add-on?An Alfresco Add-on can improve the capabilities of an Alfresco product, but is not shipped with the product.
