[Fiware] Please visit the FI-WARE Catalogue: it is available for preliminary testing!!!

[Matteo Melideo]

Dear FI-WARE Partners,
In WP9 we are responsible for providing tools and facilities to support 
the developers of Future Internet Applications and new implementations 
of Generic Enablers based on their Open Specifications. Our idea is to 
offer a "Catalogue" for making it easy for developers to find, navigate 
and understand what is offered by FI-WARE project in terms of Generic 
Enablers and FI-WARE Instances (think of the "One-Stop-Shop" metaphor). 
In fact, the FI-WARE Catalogue will contain information about: Generic 
Enablers Open Specifications, Generic Enablers reference implementations 
(API, interfaces, source code, executable, etc.), the Generic Enablers 
reference implementations clients (if any), Generic Enablers reference 
implementations tutorial and any other information that may be useful 
for a developer that wants to use these. In addition, the Catalogue will 
also contain the reference to the FI-WARE Instances (e.g. FI-WARE 
Testbed at least) where the Generic Enablers implementations have been 
deployed.
In the first release the catalogue will be a stand alone portal but in 
the coming releases the ambition is to integrate it with Eclipse to make 
it also possible for developers to browse FI-WARE Generic Enablers (Open 
Specifications and implementations) directly from the IDE making it even 
easier to their usage and interaction. This is actually an opportunity 
to market FI-WARE to the Eclipse community.

It may be worth to know that:
1) the catalogue has been inspired by the experience of the Ericsson 
Labs (https://labs.ericsson.com/) that today provide more than 15,000 
developers worldwide access to APIs and other information to support 
development of services and applications.
2) the catalogue has nothing to do with the Apps Marketplace released by 
Apps and Service Ecosystem Chapter!!! The catalogue intends to host only 
outcomes of the FI-WARE project and only based on the Generic Enables 
Open Specifications.

What we are asking from you now is to play with this preliminary version 
of the catalogue and to provide us as much feedback as you can so that 
we can be ready at M12 with a version taking into account also your 
requirements. This simple test (once registered into the Catalogue 
portal) will only require max 10 minutes of your valuable time. Please 
note that it is still under development, so you should only add "fake" 
data. There could also be disturbances since the team is actively 
developing still. We will communicate to all when you can start to add 
real data.

The steps to follow:
- Go to http://fi-ware.cloud.labs.ericsson.net
- Register a user and log in to the site
- Go to the "Enablers" section
- Submit a new enabler by clicking the "Create new enabler" link at the 
top of the enabler listing and submitting the form
- The proposed enabler is now in the validation queue and you will have 
to wait for an administrator (basically myself) to approve the enabler 
before you can progress to the next step.
- After being approved your enabler will be listed in the enabler 
listing, but can only be seen by you and is tagged as "unpublished".
- You can now edit the documentation, add downloads etc. and when happy 
with the content you can go to the edit tab on the main page of the 
enabler and change the status at the bottom to "published". The enabler 
can now be seen by anyone.
- You can also use the "Group" tab at the top of the enabler page to add 
other people who should be able to help you in creating the enabler content.

Please report any bug or comment at 
https://forge.fi-ware.eu/tracker/index.php?aid=1610&group_id=15. and do 
not hesitate to contact me or any of the persons reading in copy this 
e-mail for any further request of clarification.

Thank you in advance for the cooperation and regards,

Matteo Melideo
