How do collections work?

It is quite a simple mechanism. A collection.json file is created in the git repository that hosts the collection. This file has a simple human readable JSON format:

{   
    "collection": {   
        "https://bitbucket.org/interfaceware/hl7-listener.git": {   
            "description": "#hl7 #llp #server #test This a self contained component for testing - it receives a stream of HL7 messages and logs them.  It should not be connected.",   
            "name": "Test Listener",   
            "type": "component"   
        },   
        "https://bitbucket.org/interfaceware/hl7-viewer.git": {   
            "description": "Example HL7 mapping channel #hl7 #custom #filter Copy this and customize for your needs.  This feeds from a source queue into a destination queue.",   
            "name": "HL7 Map",   
            "type": "component"   
        },   
        "https://bitbucket.org/interfaceware/hl7todb.git": {   
            "description": "#hl7 #db #sink This is an example of mapping HL7 into a database.",   
            "name": "HL7 -> DB",   
            "type": "component"   
        },   
        "https://bitbucket.org/interfaceware/hl7_client.git": {   
            "description": "#hl7 #llp #client #sink This component will send HL7 messages to a port.  It using the LLP protocol.  This is a destination.",

        },

            "description": "#hl7 #llp #server #source This component will receive HL7 messages on a port using the LLP protocol.  It is a source.",   
            "name": "HL7 Server",

        },   
        "https://bitbucket.org/interfaceware/hl7_simulator.git": {   
            "description": "#hl7 #llp #client #test Self contained component to simulate a stream of HL7 messages to a HL7 Server port.  Use this for testing. It should not be connected.",   
            "name": "Simulator",   
            "type": "component"   
        },   
        "https://bitbucket.org/interfaceware/x12todb.git": {   
            "description": "#x12 Example parsing an X12 transaction.",   
            "name": "X12 Parse",   
            "type": "component"   
        }   
    },   
    "description": "Components for HL7/X12 interfaces.",

}   

How can someone use my collection?

They will need to go to their Settings > Collections, click EDIT and add the URL of the collection you created.

Note: They will also need to have read access to your repository in order to access it.
