I have recognized the same and was wondering already what could be the reason that people have written own small projects which I only knew of because following this mailing list. Honestly I started the same, after coming up with the first draft of ma qvm-screenshot-to-clipboard script. The main reason why I didn't upload it (yet) to Qubes docs: 1) it is on a very early stage and while it is working I would feel a bit ashamed, as there is no error handling etc. 2) I am unsure if the script is not only working but also "reasonable secure" to use 3) I like the quality of the existing Qubes documentation, but it takes some time for a newbie user not only to write a good how-to but also include all the valuable feedback or keep the discussion ongoing. Maybe those are the reasons why others like to keep developing their stuff outside of the Qubes doc repository. Summarized: 1. Scripts are not yet ready/to basic 2. Unknown impact on security 3.

I like the idea having it available at GitHub as we can easily contribute to the code and GitHub has all the features to keep discussion ongoing etc. It is also allows to keep a copy of the latest version of the scripts and people don't have to learn another tool when their code is ready to be released. The bad thing: If you're not a developer and have never worked with GitHub the learning curve might be high. At least I had to click some time arround to understand what is located where and how it is working. > Generally the main concern is the visibility of > the effort that the community puts in Qubes, > from the bottom-up, often goes to waste and > few people see's it. The other benefit is, that I learn a lot from reading other person's scripts and of course following the discussion. Maybe some of the ideas there could also be mentioned in a maybe monthly blog post, so that new users can see that Qubes is a living project. I would call this site/place where all the ideas are summarize "Qubes Garden" or "Qubes Playground" :-) [799] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
