Description

Stand up a new registry dedicated to experimental extensions, published under a new aka.ms link for easy access. This registry will host bleeding-edge extensions that aren't ready for the main registry.

Acceptance Criteria

Registry Setup

  • Create new registry JSON file for experimental extensions
  • Host registry in appropriate GitHub repository/branch
  • Set up aka.ms link (e.g., aka.ms/azd/registry/experimental)
  • Configure registry metadata and schema

Registry Guidelines

  • Define criteria for experimental vs. main registry
  • Document stability expectations for experimental extensions
  • Establish process for promoting experimental → main
  • Create submission guidelines for experimental extensions

User Documentation

  • Document how to add experimental registry to azd
  • Set clear expectations about stability and support
  • Provide examples of adding and using experimental extensions
  • Include troubleshooting guidance

Integration

  • Update azd to recognize experimental registry
  • Test registry resolution with multiple registries active
  • Ensure proper priority/ordering with other registries

Benefits

  • Provides sandbox for testing new extensions
  • Reduces barrier for community contributions
  • Protects main registry stability
  • Enables faster iteration on experimental features
