What does a plugin need to qualify to be included as a Fiji update?

[José María Mateos]

Hello,

I continuing the development of jClustering
(https://github.com/HGGM-LIM/jclustering) and would like to know what
requirements does it need to meet to be included as a Fiji update, if
such a thing would be possible.

Best,

José María Mateos.

We usually ask the author to provide documentation on the Fiji Wiki
(http://fiji.sc/<plugin-name>, it can point to external documentation, of
course, but it would be nice to have at least a tutorial with pictures to
get users started).

We made it a rule that the sources must be available. This usually meant
that the code would be included in fiji.git (the source code repository of
Fiji). But there are precendents for plugins that are maintained in their
own repositories (TrakEM2, Stephan Saalfeld's mpicbg package, Jarek
Sacha's ij-plugins package, ...).

There is also the question whether you want to start your own update site;
that would allow you to upload whenever you want, not having to wait for,
say, yours truly ;-)

Ciao,
Dscho

The best documentation about this can be found here:

Thanks a lot, I'll take a look at it.
