There's an important difference. Neither contributing *data* to Wikipedia nor OpenStreetMap involves security risk for users of those databases. On the contrary contributing a plugin to QGIS is contributing *code* that will run with the privledges of the user running QGIS, so potentially thefting data / destroying data / installing malware / doing whatever nasty you can imagine. Making a plugin available in the default repository is like accepting a code contribution to QGIS core. That involves some form of trust in the contributor. > > > geodrinx > > > On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 4:35 PM, Geo DrinX <geodr...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Good morning :) > >> > >> > >> I am here to inform you that I just removed from the repository the > >> latest plugin version 3.0.4 of GEarthView, and also other my plugins. > >> > >> I have taken this decision to draw your attention on the mechanism of > >> the plugin approval, which I think is totally insufficient and > >> inadequate. > >> > >> I recommend you review this procedure and pay more attention to whom is > >> dealing, which should be a technical, and not another. > >> > >> I am sorry for the difficulties that my decision will cause to > >> unsuspecting users of my plugin, but they can continue to download my > >> plugin from my official repository on github. > >> > >> I thank you for your attention > >> > >> > >> Best Regards > >> > >> Roberto (geodrinx) > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Qgis-developer mailing list > >> Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org > >> List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > >> Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
