Codegeist Update; Plugin Hosting

We're starting to get some great entries in for Codegeist. There's a lot of activity around Bamboo, our new continuous integration server, which is very exciting to us. There's a Cobertura code-coverage plugin, which we're already using on the JIRA team. And there's an NAnt plugin that shows the .Net community is well-represented. You should check those out, as well as all the other entries. The authors will welcome your feedback, as it can ensure a better entry when the contest closes. On a related

OpenID 2.0 Logo Concepts

The OpenID project has proposed a new marketing image with the launch of the 2.0 version of the protocol, quoting the email thread: The existing OpenID logo has been a good fit over the last year or so. Its easily identifiable and pretty much ubiquitous now... Our goal will be to select one of the three logos shown below and announce it as part of our efforts to further introduce and explain our OpenID plans next week. Here are the previous suggestions: http://openid.net/pipermail/general/attachments/20061129/135950f8/attachment-0003.obj http://openid.net/pipermail/general/attachments/20061129/135950f8/attachment-0004.obj http://openid.net/pipermail/general/attachments/20061129/135950f8/attachment-0005.obj The

OMG, OpenID — how do I do it?

Everyone seems to be going nuts for OpenID. The concept is still new, yet new sites pop up every day supporting the technology. There is plenty of chatter on various blogs and mailing list about integrating with OpenID, yet there are not really a lot of examples on how to do things as a best practice.

Searching the Confluence Plugin Library

I added a new feature to the Confluence plugin library: searching! You can now list, filter, sort and search all of the plugins in the Confluence Plugin Repository.

You can filter by category, or search by keyword (across the title and the description). One of the other neat features is that you can configure it to search only plugins compatible with a certain

Codegeist II: Release Early, release often

Some of our competitors got their plugins working and put them up for download in the entries section very early in the contest. Others waited until the last possible minute to submit their work. I'm not sure if those who waited were doing so out of a sense of competitive secrecy, or out of procrastination, or out of simply not being finished until the eleventh hour. However, I did notice
