The Alfresco community has long been a vibrant ecosystem of developers, partners, and integrators building innovative solutions on top of the Alfresco platform. To better showcase this creativity and foster collaboration, we’re excited to introduce the Alfresco Addons Catalog — a community-driven initiative designed to list, discover, and promote third-party solutions for Alfresco.
Why a Catalog?
The idea behind the catalog is simple: create a centralized, accessible space where the community can:
- Submit their Alfresco-related solutions
- Moderate and review submissions collaboratively
- Search and discover useful tools and integrations
This initiative benefits everyone:
- Users and customers can easily find solutions tailored to their content management needs.
- Partners and developers gain visibility for their work.
- Hyland (Alfresco’s parent company) gets valuable insights into the ecosystem’s activity and innovation.
What’s Inside?
The catalog is built as a zero-infrastructure website, hosted on GitHub and powered by static site generators and client-side search tools like Hugo and Fuse.js. This approach ensures simplicity, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
Each entry in the catalog includes:
- Name and description
- Screenshots and video links
- Compatibility details
- License type
- Keywords
- Download links
- Author/vendor information
- A short “About” section
Submissions are made via a GitHub form, which automatically creates a pull request. While this requires a GitHub account, it ensures transparency and version control.
What’s Next?
Post-launch, everybody will be able to monitor the catalog’s impact:
- Number of contributions
- Website traffic and engagement
- Popular categories and vendor types
Explore the Catalog
We invite you to explore, contribute, and help shape the future of the Alfresco ecosystem. Whether you're a developer with a cool integration or a user looking for new tools, the Alfresco Addons Catalog is your new go-to resource.
