Goals

What are the top 3 goals you want to accomplish with this epic? All goals should be specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and timebound.

1. Increase usage of official plugins
2. Measure baseline usability of library and improve baseline measurements (for example, on basic tasks like searching for a particular plugin). I'm guessing what we'll want to improve is the following: how easy it is to find a few official plugins, find more obscure plugins, choose between similar plugins, and author a plugin.
3. Increase number of submitted plugins
4. Decrease the number of incomplete READme files

How will we know this epic is a success?

Reaching the goals above!

User Can Statement

• User can find the plugins they are looking for with fewer clicks than before
• User can find installation instructions for any plugin
• User can evaluate between similar plugins and choose one

Metrics to Measure Success

• Same as goals above

Additional Description

We already did this work on the plugin library:

• v1.0
• v1.5

What are the risks to the epic?

The only things we give up are time devoted to the project. I can't think of any downsides yet.

What questions do we still need to answer, or what resources do we need?

We need to do 5 usability tests on the current plugin library to see how easy it is to find a few official plugins, find more obscure plugins, choose between similar plugins, and author a plugin.

How will we complete the epic?

Finish the issues and PR's in this epic.

How else could we accomplish the same goal?

Probably can't accomplish this any other way.

@shannonbux what issues should fall under here?

[shannonbux]

@calcsam updated with 3 issues that have been open for a long time, but not more than a stub still.

This isn't a high priority so I haven't taken the time to fill it out completely yet. Happy to do that if that's important.
