Re: [Gambas-user] About Gambas Farm
Hi!. In the Linux software manager we can see more than one picture, showing how is the application. It may be of interest to have this feature.

I'm with you, except that if nothing is done in a timely manner, the Farm will become a nightmare. We need to prevent abusing, i.e. converting the public Farm in a private repository for someone and maintain the quality level to a minimum, as said before. I think the following aspects should be evaluated and shown somewhat next to the program name: * Naming conventions has been used * Object names and comments are in English * Good style of writing and organization of project * Usefulness of code or application * Usability and graphic design ...to name a few, but still waiting for the feedback from list members. Perhaps a combination of tags that adds in for a number representing a scale or level of quality... > > The farm server and farm clients need enhancements for sure.

That's the main reason we use free software, of course, we will try to help the best we can. Regards, Jesus (on behalf of gambas-es.org) -- Attend Shape: An AT Tech Expo July 15-16.

[Gambas-user] About Gambas Farm
Hi all Recently at the Spanish Forum gambas-es.org, we have had a vibrant debate about the gambas Farm and its features. On behalf of our Community, I'd like to forward some of the questions that deserve some discussion, in our opinion. Questions like "What's the actual purpose of the farm?", "Should we expect future changes on the farm?", "Are we making a proper use of the farm?", etc. are arising out of different points of view. In addition to these questions, some of us think that the Farm interface should be enhanced in terms of usability, such as implementing a score system and a comments system. I know it already has a download/installation counter, but it may or may not be relevant enough for the author. Also, a short comment from the users or other developers, may help to the main dev to debug his application. One of the most strongly discussed aspects is the convenience of a management or supervision of the published material, looking for a minimum of quality. It should serve as an example of some feature, it should be written using the recommended rules, variable names in english, have relevant english comments and good style, not to mention correct indentation. While some of us think that the Farm should be open to whatever type of script, snippet or whole applications, others think that only a selected set of them should be published after a proper quality filter. If bad code is published massively, it will affect the gambas reputation in the near future. We think about Gambas Farm as a showcase of good programming practices and as a teaching tool, therefore it should be enforced a minimum quality level. What do you guys think about all these questions? We would like to open a friendly debate about it. Best regards, Jesús -- Attend Shape: An AT Tech Expo July 15-16.
