Sometimes it's really hard to contact the author, as email is not included even to source files. We can add a tag <email> or include emails to the <author_name> tag. The latter option is better for multiple authors as I think. So let's allow both solutions. Installer will both handle the <email> tag and parse everything looking like an email from the <author_name>. Of course this could be also an easy pray for spamers, so we need to find the best way to format email address. > what about a URL to an AUTHORS file? The main blocker is free space in Installer window ;) If authors are ready to provide more info (screenshots, longer descriptions, changelogs), we can make Installer more verbose and implement a big browser for pretty formatted metadata. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
