Plugin Submission Process

Commons In A Box provides two packages (CBOX Classic and CBOX OpenLab) of WordPress functionality – plugins and themes – that are vetted for their quality and their utility. The Commons In A Box team will consider nominations for additional plugins to be added to its packages.

We will use the following criteria to judge a potential addition to one of the packages:

  • Broad applicability: Is the plugin likely to be useful to a large percentage of Commons In A Box installations?
  • Compatibility: Does the plugin work well with the rest of the Commons In A Box system? Is it compatible with Multisite? Does it conflict with BuddyPress?
  • Quality and support: Is the plugin well built? Does it adhere to best practices for security and web accessibility? Is it supported on an ongoing basis by a team of developers?

To submit a plugin for consideration, please provide the following information on this Google Form.  You will need to provide the following information:

  • Plugin name
  • Name and contact info of author(s)
  • CBOX Classic or CBOX OpenLab (or both)
  • Link to plugin page and/or code repository
  • Justification for inclusion in Commons In A Box, in accordance with the criteria outlined above

CBOX has its roots in the CUNY Academic Commons, which in turn was made possible through funding from The City University of New York itself.

The Commons In A Box was made possible through the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
