'Meet Jenkins' wiki page

[Daniel Beck]

Hi everyone,

I rewrote parts of the 'Meet Jenkins' wiki page a bit: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Meet+Jenkins

Turns out nobody cares about Monitor External Job (<5k job instances despite being bundled), so that shouldn't be considered one of the two main features of Jenkins.

Some of the 'major features' also looked more like nice to have details to me (RSS? Permalinks?), so I changed those as well to emphasize the more fundamental extensibility and cross-platform support.

Suggestions on further improvements are welcome! And I think the sections with external links (case studies, introductory articles) could use some more recent resources. If you know any, please let me know!

Hi Daniel,

At the beginning I would just write that "Jenkins is the most popular automation engine in the world. It's being widely used for CI, CD and other automation methodologies in many ares (not only software development)".

> h1.Who is using it?

I would propose to mention that Jenkins project automation is also being driven by Jenkins. In such case you could add links to our two CI instances with "state-of-the-art" setups.

# *Easy installation*: 

I would also note that there are several Jenkins-as-a-service providers including ones, which provide a free hosting for OSS products

Other proposals:

• Add big OSS community to the advantages
• Add a section for the case studies (Case studies and best practices). They are not really related to installations
• Add links to the "Plugins" page in features
• Look for new introductory materials. The existing ones are outdated a bit
• Remove "Jenkins Best Practices" (the header is copy-pasted from the referenced page and does not provide much value). Just move the link to the "Case studies and best practices" sections
• In the license section mention that Jenkins plugins may be licensed under other licenses

If you agree, I could add some minor stuff from the list above on my own.
