Re: [QGIS-Developer] Plugin rename

[Lova Andriarimalala via QGIS-Developer]

Dear P,

Currently, the plugin can only be renamed through the administration page. To 
proceed with the request, please email us from the email associated with the 
plugin author's account.

Best regards,
Lova

Subject: [QGIS-Developer] Plugin rename
Dear all,

I'm the maintainer of the plugin opeNoise 
(https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/opeNoise/)
The organization paying the maintenance would like to change the name from 
opeNoise to opeNoise Map
Is it possible inside the plugin repo do that?
If I just change the name entirely in the project is it enough?
Thanks for your help
P

My concern here would be that we create a new problem: Having to moderate
the comments. Maybe we could use a simple like/dislike and/or predefined
lists of comments (e..g "Works great", "Doesnt work on Linux", "Doesnt work
on macOS" etc.).

Tim

The policy has always been that binaries are NOT allowed.

Seems fair to me.

There is no policy AFAIK except that they must be unique and valid
directory names (unix) without weird characters.

Kind regards.

Hi Admire,
thanks for sharing these info!

Looking at the list of the 51 unapproved plugins, I see something which 
seems strange to me:


- there are some unapproved plugins for which it is reported a number of 
downloads > 0 and also a number of "votes" > 0 although there is no 
version available to be downloaded (e.g. "BigQuery Layers", 
"FastVersion"): how is it possible?


- there are some unapproved plugins having various version available to 
be downloaded for which it is reported a great number of downloads and a 
great number of "votes" and that are very recently updated (e.g. 
"OpenQuake Integrated Risk Modelling Toolkit", "Lizmap" whihc is also 
flagged as "Featured"): are they mistakenly listed among the unapproved 
plugins?


Best regards.

Andrea
