Where can I find a developer guide to kibana, that explain me how the system work and all the things i need to know for developing kibana plugin?
Or if someone could publish snippets of sample plugin.
I've started cloning statusPage plugin, but I don't want to do revers engineering to understand the platform.
On the website, the is no type of developer manual.
Thank you
You can refer to the following links to learn How to develop Kibana Plugins:-

The official answer from 6+ months ago seems to be "don't":
We're working to develop an external API but would caution you away
from making custom changes as things still move pretty fast and
internal APIs are likely to change even in patch versions.
Also, "there are no public plugin APIs right now" (8/2015)
Hard to find any information to date. I recommend you to look at the plugin generator released some days ago:
Generator Kibana Plugin Structure
There are two plugins I found where you can have a look at the code to understand the structure. The first is the Sense plugin, the second Timelion. Timelion matches more to the structure of the generator.
Sense Github
Timelion GitHub
I suggest understanding plugin structure and code for traffic plugin (https://github.com/sbeyn/kibana-plugin-traffic-sg) which would be one of the simplest plugins to understand and you could directly add it to your installed plugin folder in kibana and see it working.
Other than that I would also suggest you do read timroes blogs (https://www.timroes.de/2015/12/02/writing-kibana-4-plugins-basics/) for developing kibana plugins
and last I would also suggest using elasticsearch discussion forum for kibana related issues as well for quicker responses:

How do we add our own plugin. Lets say a new add-on or feature which can be installed and used. How do we develop that? I am sorry i am new to this.
Kindly help
Depending on your needs, I suggest you check out:
https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/concepts/open-ui/introduction.html
You can also create various plugins more like the native functionality. Adding such to essentials is described here:
https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/essentials-plugins/overview.html
That doesn't tell you how to create a plugin however. Essentials is just a helper application, the plugin can be various things from services, to configuration, to document types, to hst components... All of that requires some knowledge of the internals of the system. Look around the documentation, you can see how to create various things like workflows, perspectives, and more.
A plugin is no more than a collection of code and configuration bundled together. It could be a frontend thing or a backend thing. So I can't simply tell you how to create them. It can be quite difficult, depending on what you want, to create a plugin. Look into the code of some plugins, you will see that it is basically a java project with some configuration that can be found by the system on startup.
You might want to ask more specifically on what exactly you want to develop. That could lead to more specific advice. It can be daunting when you are starting to work with the cms. With experience it does start to make sense.
I would like to integrate my sonarqube instance with a confluence space, so all my team could have access to the project metrics. Does anyone know any plugin that does this or how to do it without a plugin? Thanks
You're looking for badges, which allow you to embed a little image in a page with a metric name and current metric value. This is a native feature on SonarCloud.io, and coming soon for SonarQube. In the meantime, there's a community plugin you can use.
We experienced the same need and a colleague recommended me to give this a try:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/es.excentia.confluence.plugins.confluence-sonarqube-connector/server/overview
We are currently in the evaluation stage, and quite happy with its use and functionality.
I was asked to create a simple JIRA plugin that combines Workflow + Custom Fields + Conditional Steps
I just started installing JIRA and finally managed to create a run a simple Hello World Plugin.
I am already confused with how huge this interface is, and cannot seem to be able to grasp the big picture
Could any of you send me to the right direction? An idea on what could include all these?
It might be a good idea to start with the scriptrunner plugin. This enables you to write custom groovy scripts for workflow conditions, validators, post-functions, listeners and many more.
The advantage is that the learning curve for simple groovy scripts is not as steep as for "real" plugins. That way you can accomodate with the jira api and then when you hit the point where you can't help yourself with groovy anymore switch over to normal plugin mechanics.
The Introduction to the Atlassian Plugin SDK is actually quite good.
The get your head around try to focus on the type(s) of plugin you want to have:
customfield - calculated or not?
workflow plugins - validators, conditions
Within each plugin, find out what information you need and then see where from the API you can get that information.
Script Runner is easier to learn and it does exactly what you are asking for. A SR script can become also a JIRA plugin if you want to install it in other instances (SR plugin must be available).
Learning Script Runner helps you to understand better how to develop JIRA plugins, in any case it's not time wasting because you can easily switch between native JIRA plugins and SR (SR uses JIRA components so the main logic is still the same, it just hides most of the annoying and repetitive stuff).
You can start with this template:

I've been trying struggling over the last 2 weeks to find a viable way to configure a Wordpress installation as a membership directory that pulls information from user profiles (custom and default) and displays it in a presentable (possibly sortable) format.
Initially, something along the lines of the Sobi2 plugin for Joomla! was searched for, but to no avail. I stumbled on to a fairly straightforward blog entry on the subject, but it just seemed to list plugins without instructions on how to use them. see below.
http://www.cagintranet.com/archive/the-new-improved-way-to-turn-wordpress-27-into-a-membership-communit/
Any suggestions on decent plugins that can achieve what I'm looking for?
I'd like to avoid shelling out $175 for an enterprise plugin like aMember if possible.

You must go with DirectoryPress if cost is not barrier. This is excellent Directory Plugin. Check below link...
http://directorypress.net/
If you're looking for Free Plugins then here are few of them...

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/connections/

check
http://wpclassipress.com/demo/ which is similar to Sobi2
Our small team of 3-4 developers uses a wiki for documentation and collaboration. I'm trying to put together a list of some solid extensions which would help make it better. We are using MediaWiki, but if you know of a good extension/plug-in for another platform I'd like to hear about that too. Thanks.
Here is my list so far:
Geshi for syntax highlighting.
FCKeditor
TagAsCategory
Promising Extensions that don't work w/ MediaWiki 1.15.0
CategoryEditor
IssueTracker
Two things come to mind:
Bug tracking tool integration
SCM tool integration
For MediaWiki there are already
Bugzilla integration:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BugzillaReports
SVN integration:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SVNIntegration
The whole list of extensions is here
Well, I think that a good starting point would be to check what we use at mediawiki.org, because this is a Development Wiki :)
My first choice would be CodeReview of course. It's not pretty, but it's very useful. See how we use it: it allows to integrate a SVN into the wiki, to add comments on code, tag commits, and put statuses on it.
At MediaWiki, we use new/verified/ok chain, adding fixme/reverted/resolved/deferred when things go wrong; but you're free to use your own statuses here.
