RE: [SPAM] RE: [Qgis-user] Public Repository for plugins...
I don't want to speak on behalf of the community, I just came across what I figured would work for the central repo and kinda matches typical; open source projects that facilitate the three options.

So do we want to have three levels? The present "experimental" tagging style is related to the fact that many authors just release either plugins considerable as stable, or just some concepts. But if we are going to develop more complicated plugins (and it seems we are), there is a reason to do more precise tagging, of course ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Sometimes it's really hard to contact the author, as email is not included even to source files. We can add a tag or include emails to the tag. The latter option is better for multiple authors as I think. So let's allow both solutions. Installer will both handle the tag and parse everything looking like an email from the . 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
