The recommended way of searching components (widgets, operators and mashups) MUST be the marketplace support, so this section should be moved later and be the alternative.

The reason for putting the look-on-github bit first was to ensure that users have the opportunity of downloading fresh sources. May be this can be reworded - something like "getting latest bleeding edge development"

So I think this change should be discarded.

If this is to be The recommended way of searching components then we'll need a re-wording - I guess a revert and a link to the "getting latest bleeding edge development" section where ever that ends up.
There needs to be a fresh up-to-date marketplace link as well - could you supply one?

I can link to the released versions where they exist, but not all repos have consistently been released. For example: I expect there are others, but I don't want to update the list manually. I'll add a check for an existing wgt in the other PR and obtain a discrepancy list. |

@aarranz - the When the outstanding agile-dashboards issue is closed, the widget builder PR will also need a minor update, since agile-dashboards contains multiple widgets with different version numbers, but a single overall release version |

Hi Jason, I've just created a release for the agile-dashboards repository with all those 41 widgets. So, you can go ahead and finish this PR 😄. |

Hi @jason-fox, sorry for the delay on merging this PR. I was very busy with fixing some bugs and improving some details, as well as preparing the FIWARE Global Summit. In fact, we have released some new versions, so I have to review current versions. So, yes I will review PR #399 by using it 😄. Also, I will update documentation pointing to https://macs.opplafy.eu for now. I'm afraid we will need to make a new release just after today's one. Thank you very much for you contributions! |
This PR alters the documentation to include an online marketplace/listing of a large set of current Widgets compiled against the latest stable version of Node 8. The listing is automatically generated. The Widgets are compiled using the latest
developtip of the codebase.The idea here is to improve the availability of Wirecloud Widgets by listing them directly in the documentation, and not to rely on
*.wgtfiles to have been added to the releases.The documentation has also been amended to list further places that Widgets can be found on GitHub.
