GET-E.org has had applications and module code some time ago, i removed that section because the submitters didn't update the code and so it got outdated soon. Also GET-E.org was totally different to exchange, it was keeping an eye at original themes, so it was completly maintained. Exchange allows the users to submit whatever they want, that will lead into copyright issues and e17-stuff alike ugly themes. So there was a reason why we never did the exchange/e17-stuff way. Also there was an api for downloading files automatically, you might want to check the theme or background dialog... I don't think GET-E.org wasn't inovative, but now we had an evolution and there we have a new better site: exchange Greets > > ____________________________________________________________ > Don't let your life go up in flames.
