The MAP Client is a cross-platform, plugin-based framework for managing workflows. Since the Plugin lies at the heart of the MAP framework, the ability to easily find and share MAP plugins is an important aspect of the MAP-Client's usability.
The MAP Plugin Database contains basic information about all of the known, published MAP-Client plugins. The primary use of this database is to allow users of the MAP-Client to search for and install MAP-Client plugins directly from within the MAP-Client itself, rather than having to install plugins manually. Specifically, the Plugin Finder tool can be found in the MAP-Client application under the Tools menu dropdown.
MAP-Client users are able to submit their own MAP plugins to the MAP Plugin Database. Currently the recommended process for doing this is to submit an issue in the MAP Plugin Database GitHub repository. The issue should be tagged with the add-plugin label. The body of the issue submission should contain only the GitHub repository path of the plugin to be added; this path should be in the format: {organization}/{repository}, for example: mapclient-plugins/pointsourcestep.
