<!channel> With the substantial changes with Grails 7, every Grails Plugin will require updates. The vast majority of Grails plugins have always been maintained by external developers. A small set of the most common plugins have been updated, but there are hundreds of others that may be in use. We are going to need to coordinate a large Volunteer Effort to update Existing Grails Plugins for Grails 7. https://github.com/apache/grails-core/discussions/15044 - GitHub discussion to start tracking the requests and coordinate volunteers to work on the updates. Updating a plugin is normally not that difficult and it is most efficient for an end user of the plugin to complete the updates, since they are actually using the plugin and verify functionality. With 7.0.0-RC2 coming in a few days and the final release in a few weeks, it is time to start the plugin update effort.

It’s pinned to this channel, but as a reminder, slack history is available at: https://grails.linen.dev

I was able to hunt down some of those old plugin requests https://grails.linen.dev, thanks!

I'm planning to work on https://github.com/HewlettPackard/grails-elasticsearch-rest/branches and https://github.com/wondrify/seed-me. We did something when I’ve tried to move our application to M4 but then we abandoned that effort as by the time I had everything ready you released the next version. I’ve to poke our OSPO to get their approval on the second one.

1. There are various pdf generating plugins like https://github.com/gpc/rendering, https://github.com/rlovtangen/grails-wkhtmltopdf, https://gpc.github.io/export/docs/ and likely others. Many still work through grails 5.x even though otherwise not updated for years. Likely at least one can hopefully be available to projects. Rendering was seemingly semi core, Apache licensed, and last touched 2 years ago.
