*Update: All Addons can be found here -  

Unfortunately we’ve had to temporarily remove access to addons.alfresco.com - we understand that you may be disappointed, we’re working on bringing it back in a read-only mode whilst we work out what the next steps for the Alfresco AddOns Community.

We’d love to hear more from you on your thoughts on how we can move AddOns forward as we begin planning the next evolution of the Alfresco Community we kindly invite you to contact us with a message. We will do our best to face and solve the issue as soon as possible. We sincerely hope that this won't cause problems to anyone. If it will happen, we apologise in advance.

Update of 7th of June - You can find the draft of the static list at Alfresco Addons *Incomplete list* 

About Alfresco AddOns

If you have ever customised or extended Alfresco Content Services (and/or Alfresco Share), you might have found a website called addons.alfresco.com. Alfresco Add-on website is a large collection of customisations and extensions for the Alfresco platform, contributed by the company's global developer community. The Alfresco Add-on website was designed to be a one-stop shop for Alfresco users looking to extend the functionality of Alfresco with pre-built modules.

The Alfresco Add-on website has been active since 2012 and since the beginning it grew rapidly, hosting several hundreds of different projects: Open Source and Proprietary, developed by Alfresco official partners or Community enthusiasts, supported or "given as is" in terms of production readiness. From this point of view, the initiative has been a success and a positive achievement of the entire Alfresco ecosystem (Alfresco as a Company, partners, customers, users, enthusiasts, etc.).

Most of the Alfresco enthusiasts agree that a sort of "Alfresco Marketplace" would be something useful for everyone, even if some concerns were around since a long time about the (proven) level of maturity of the (oldest) releases of the projects with the newest versions of Alfresco Content Services (and Alfresco Share). In addition to that, an improved experience in searching and installing the add-ons were something suggested, but never discussed and defined with enough details.

Today the GDPR is forcing us to the decision to put the Alfresco Add-on website in stand-by mode, until its future version will be defined and re-launched again. Looking forward to start the discussion around the next version of the Alfresco Marketplace, Add-on mechanism or whatever it will be.
