+1 It would be nice to make this, "turn-key". For example, on platforms like Windows, it "would-be-nice" to have an "installer" that you could download, which installs a "QtContributor.exe", which is a simple GUI to pull Qt modules or otherwise make "easy" the local-codebase management and compiling/linking/install of a module configuration. I don't want to make "more-work" for anyone, but I think a "contributor-IDE" with contributor-utility-help would be useful (enter/search-for/reproduce bugs, pull module updates so bugs could be reproduced/fixed/verified, etc.) If we want "casual-users" to find/reproduce/look-at bugs, a one-click-setup would be great, IMHO. Yes, once it's "in-place", it's easy. But it's not easy getting it "in-place". Also, many of us must maintain "clean-reference" development environments where we maintain "last-released" development in addition to (wanting-to) closely follow new Qt module development. An easy "module-configurator" tool would be nice for this. I'm thinking of something like a simple GUI on top of Thiago's Qt-module-selector/configurator-scripts. --charley
