+1 for the idea.

I would vote to use a GitHub organization as a repo. Related thread: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/15040c942f2816bf

In such case I see the following advantages:

• You get a "repository" out of the box including project README pages, etc. => Minimal efforts
  
• Each theme can be stored as a separate repository and maintained individually.
• Existing theme repositories may be easily forked
• Snippets from GitHub may be used directly
• You can present a list of Snippets in Simple Theme Plugin
  
• You can use GitHub stars as a community rating for sorting
• You can version themes using GitHub releases or Git tags tags
  

We could use the existing Jenkins CI org, but probably a new organization is better due to the indexing advantages.

Best regards,
Oleg

Hi,

 Actually I like that idea! I believe you could something similar to the scriptler approach (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Scriptler+Plugin) which is based on a particular central catalog:

  - http://scriptlerweb.appspot.com/ (actually is not accessible anymore for some reason)

  - https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins-scripts/

 But that's also true, as Baptiste mentioned, Jenkins community is thinking to move forward to another 2.X version which might also affect the UI. 

Anyway, I like your idea so let's see what' the community think and probably it's worth to ask in the Jenkins Development group too.

Cheers

Hi everybody, 

I'm a guy who loves customisation, and the Jenkins Simple Theme Plugin was a wonderful thing for me. 
I have been using it for a while and found out many wonderful things that I can tweak and theme.

However, it has come to my attention that there is no central theme repository or theme catalogue for this plugin. 
This is where I feel I can step in, but I'd like to get an idea on interest.

MY PLAN:
 - Create a database and interface for completed / WIP Jenkins Themes (names, descriptions, screenshots)
 - Allow users to upload to it (ZIP file with CSS, JS and other theme files)
 - Allow links back to the original source, guessing GitHub, for community contribution (and other classic GitHub uses)

 - Ratings, comments, tags and all the other standard stuff.

REASON:
Jenkins is a highly versatile system and I'm sure that those who are installing the Simple Theme plugin are the kind of people who are not a fan of the default UI.
Also, I personally am not too keen on searching around the internet for theme ideas / source to get started with. 

Please let me know who is interested in this idea / who would like to help out.
