Hi, It seems like most of us are still confused about mandatory metadata in Python plugins.
There have been a lot of discussions on this topic in the past and I would like to resume the discussion. IIRC the most debated questions were: * if "homepage" must be mandatory * if "tracker" must be mandatory * if "repository" must be mandatory We somewhat agreed about leaving those metadata optional but "highly recommended", this means that the automatic validator still accepts the plugin but a warning is shown to the author and to website staff users. The plugin approval is not automatic, if somebody thinks that for a particular plugin one of those metadata are absolutely necessary he/she can just unapprove the plugin. I'm still convinced that the a.m. metadata should be recommended but not mandatory but of course we can change this policy. If I missed the point in which a different decision was taken, please let me know and I will add those rules to the validator. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
