For themes, you get a lot more information, that could be useful depending on what you are looking for.. for example, if you dont like the look of your shelf and want to try something else, you could go here: http://exchange.enlightenment.org/themeGroup/show/2664 and find all the themes that provide a shelf theme. get-e does not provide this level of detail, and for get-e to provide that, it would require a lot of effort on the part of the guy posting the theme. Here its all done automatically.
As far as modules and apps go, not everything is available in CVS, there are other places to find them. This is only a place that links to them.. if you hit download, you'd notice it goes TO CVS... Its more like a central list of what's available.. we dont try to host code here. Finally, the most important thing in my opinion is the API itself, so whatever app you write, you can hook into exchange in your app's theme config panel and people wont have to guess where to get themes from/where to upload themes to. -Sthitha On Sat, Jul 19, 2008 at 10:49 AM, Christopher Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Maybe I am missing the point here, but aren't these themes already > available via get-e.org ?
