Well, it wouldn't have to be a new server, it could be just a new web in the same server, as I proposed, since cloning is easier than creating the whole thing from scratch. I see many options, ordered by required effort: 1. Zero effort: Keep things as they are currently: Everything in the "Qt Components" section of http://qt-apps.org . 2. Low effort: Add the proposed sections (Qt 5 C++ libs, Qt 5 QML libs, ...) to http://qt-apps.org . 3. Medium effort: Clone http://qt-apps.org web to a new http://qt-libs.org web (or similar) in the same server. 4. High effort: Create new http://qt-libs.org web in a new server from scratch, independent of http://qt-apps.org . I think second option would be very easy to implement (just by adding more sections) for the admins of http://qt-apps.org . The only problem I see is that app sections (for users) would be mixed with lib sections (for developers) in the same web. In fact, they are currently mixed :-) Third option implies cloning the web. It can sound as difficult, but having in mind that many clones already exist ( http://kde-apps.org/ , http://qt-apps.org/ , http://kde-look.org/ , http://gtk-apps.org/ , http://gnome-look.org/ , ...), and that all of them are under the umbrella of http://opendesktop.org/ , I would say that creating another clone (for qt/kde libs) could be easy. Perhaps someone in this forum knows about http://opendesktop.org/ and the posibilities to implement 2nd/3rd options. Anyone? If not, I will ask to http://opendesktop.org/ admins next weekend.
