It would be good to avoid having to write our own linux-distro style packaging system, if we can keep it simple+workable we give ourselves a lot less problems. - Campbell IMOHO; I think there are two good systems that we can use as our models. One is the Linux system like Ubuntu with the

I think there are two good systems that we can use as our models. One is the Linux system like Ubuntu with the store or repository. It has the advantage of being easy to use and a repository means that everything is in one place. I would hate do see it be like MS with open source where you

Hi all, At Blender Pro, the Blender conference Brazil, I was talking to Ton, Dalai, Pablo Vasquez and other artists about a great idea for Blender: the Blender Addon/App Central. *The problem today:* - It is hard to find an add-on if you never did before; - Even if you did it, you need to find

Hi Moraes, Good you remind us, and a promising concept this... it is probably well possible to make this work inside a browser and somehow hook it up via python with Blender itself. Makes it more feasible to implement too. Next steps could also be to add import/exporters, themes, default

Another managment overlay for scripts? The current scheme is already way too bureaucratic, wikipages, script tracker, svn,... all sorts of conventions. It's hard what you have to care about, when you just want to maintain a simple script. aurel On 9 January 2012 15:23, Ton Roosendaal

I must disagree with you on that All add-ons or scripts are for users, not for developers. If I want my addon to be used only by me - I wouldn't have made it public in a first place. Believe it or not, but current system is way too difficult for artists. Artists don't have a clue what SVN and

Hi. RE: wiki --- It always amuses|depresses me when I hear talking like that about the wiki. Not that I'm a mediawiki fanboy (and I mean it) but let's face it: millions of people use Wikipedia to _communicate_, and I don't hear them lament as much as I hear in the blender
