Kartoza - Introducing the new QGIS Plugins Website and QGIS Hub

We are excited to announce the release of the newly updated QGIS Plugins Website and the launch of the QGIS Hub Website! These updates bring a fresh new look that aligns with the QGIS branding overhaul, along with significant improvements in user experience.

The QGIS Plugins website has undergone a major redesign to enhance usability and provide a seamless experience for users. With a modernised interface and improved navigation, users can now find and manage plugins more efficiently. Some of the key updates include:

1. A fresh UI that matches the latest QGIS branding.
2. Enhanced browsing experience with better categorisation of plugins.
3. Detailed plugin pages showcasing ratings, download counts, and descriptions more clearly.
4. Improved search and filtering options to find the right plugin quickly.
5. A more intuitive submission process for plugin developers.

Introducing QGIS Hub

QGIS Hub Homepage

In addition to the plugin update, we are thrilled to introduce the QGIS Hub, now available at https://hub.qgis.org. This new platform serves as a dedicated space for sharing QGIS resources such as styles, 3D models, geopackages projects files, QGIS Layer Definition (QLR) files, and much more. By separating this section into its own website, we have made it easier for users to discover and access valuable resources.

 Key features of the QGIS Hub include:

1. A visually appealing homepage with featured resources.
2. A well-organised list view for browsing available assets.
3. Detailed resource pages with previews and descriptions.
4. Advanced search functionality to quickly locate specific resources.
5. A seamless submission process for users who wish to contribute their resources.

Thank you to the QGIS Community

QGIS is developed by a team of dedicated volunteers, companies and organisations. The QGIS project relies on sponsorships and donations for much of their funding. Without the contributions of the QGIS sustaining members and donors and all volunteers, these continued improvements would not be possible. At Kartoza we are fortunate to employ both a QGIS Document Writer and QGIS Developer as fulltime staff members, an achievement made possible through the donations from QGIS community. Thank you to Tim Sutton (member of QGIS Steering Committee) for donating his time and helping make these updates possible.
