https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/ is our home page.

For plugin development we have a guide that doesn't talk about Krew:

• https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/developer-guide/develop/plugin-development/
• https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/developer-guide/develop/naming-guide/
• https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/developer-guide/develop/best-practices/

Most interesting stuff we're doing nowadays is allowing people host plugins on decentralized indexes (as opposed to krew-index repo we have right now); kubernetes-sigs/krew#566

Another interesting point is that we have a fully automated plugin update model in krew-index where bots create PR for new plugin versions tagged + bots approve those PRs, see an example in action here: kubernetes-sigs/krew-index#597

For more talking points PTAL https://speakerdeck.com/alp/making-kubectl-plugins-mainstream.

As a CTA I'd like to point out we have a #krew channel on Kubernetes Slack.

Thanks a lot for putting this together! I’ll be there live in Chat (let me know if you ever need me to join w/ audio, happy to help).

[jbeda]

Hey @ahmetb -- would love to have you join with audio but we've never gotten the tech for that nailed down. Just need to find a day or two to muck with it at some point. I'll let you know if we want to try.

Thanks for all the pointers!
