Hey there! I would like to ask some stupid questions... There is any chances to clean up the mess that is in the "symfony plugins" section?
By mess i mean: - there are 2 twitter plugins (i suppose that they do the same thing, in 2 different ways) - at least 3 chart plugins - 23 plugins that handles forms ( validation, improvement, security or User interface ) - 3 pdf plugins - 3 feed plugins (2 that creates feeds ) - 3 image manipulation plugins - 8 plugins that handles mail - 5 jquery plugins - 7 CMS applications - 3 blog plugins Ofcourse, there are many, but i just took some examples. If we could structure the plugins better: 1 blog plugin that is able to have many more features 1 image manipulation plugin with a maybe more complex Yml that would handle all the stuff, 1 Pdf plugin that can easy interfaced with HTML, Latex or other things 1 Jquery plugin that would have all jquery / JqUI files and functionality 1 chart plugin 1 twitter plugin 1 CMS application I do not want to be missunderstand, but i think too many people reinventing the weel or the warm water. Instead of having 10 unmaintained plugins for the same thing, we could have just one that would be maintained by all 10 developers, instead of spending the time by rewriting the same thing in other way. In the end, i think we all would have something to gain. Some of us a nice portofolio (being involved in sf project), others would spend less time improving x plugin and testing y,z plugins as well (even debug them). I think this collaborations between developers would diminish the chances of bug occurences, would create some mature software, and improve the quality of the plugins. P.S. I do not want to offend developers for their work. Is just i think it would be better to have less plugings with more features. I think that sf personell could provide us a list with most maintained plugins. Then, we will see that from those 283 plugins, (maybe) more than a half are not maintained, and still have some items left to be done in TODO list. Ex: DbFinderPlugin - 6 todo items sfWebBrowserPlugin - 0 todo Items sfLucenePlugin - 0 todo items / no Propel implementation sfPropelActAsNestedSetBehaviorPlugin - 0 todo / no doctrine implementation required *sfJqueryReloadedPlugin* - 8 items todo sfPropelActAsTaggableBehaviorPlugin - 0 todo sfAdminDashPlugin - 3 todo items sfImageTransformPlugin - 0 todo sfGoogleAnalyticsPlugin - 0 todo sfAssetsLibraryPlugin - 6 items todo sfLightboxPlugin - 0 todo sfTCPDFPlugin - 0 todo sfEasyGMapPlugin - 4 items todo sfTaskExtraPlugin - NO README PRESENT sfPropelActAsSluggableBehaviorPlugin - 0 todo sfPropelActAsCommentableBehaviorPlugin - (2 items on wish list ) sfPropelSqlDiffPlugin - 0 todo items nahoMailPlugin - 1 todo sfDateTime2Plugin - 0 todo sfDoctrineActAsTaggablePlugin - 0 todo sfPropelParanoidBehaviorPlugin - 0 todo sfPropelVersionableBehaviorPlugin - 0 todo sfDoctrineApplyPlugin - 0 todo stOfcPlugin - 0 todo sfSympalPlugin - 0 todo (?) no Propel implementation sfGuardPlugin - 2 todo sfFormExtraPlugin - 0 todo sfDoctrineGuardPlugin - 0 todo sfThumbnailPlugin - 0 todo sfFeed2Plugin - 2 todo items Of course some of the plugins allready reach a maturity level, but, many of them are just in a premature state (check next pages :) ) .
