what would this achieve? the layout in the module is the "normal" one we have elsewhere. why would we or anyone else care how a plasmoid is implemented? note that right now all the plasmoids we ship have at least some C++ in them, so there isn't much to be gained at the moment by recategorizing them imho. a repository with QML/JS-only plasmoids would have a purpose... > Then with some blog posts to promote the existence of the repository > and the ability of plasma coders to add there their > plasmoids,something like kde-apps.org.In kde-apps.org everyone is able > to add there his plasmoid,when in kdeplasma-addons repository only > some "chosen" plasmoids from the plasma devs will be added. i think such a thing would really require a different system altogether. a git repository that is released with the SC is not useful for such a thing, and it requires > Of course if this happen,each plasmoid must have its maintainer who > would maintain it.If it is being decided we can provide also a > bugzilla for each plasmoid,but the point is the maintainer to be very > active in order to avoid a second failure of the bugzilla.Moreover if we opened such a repository to "anybody" i wouldn't use bugs.kde.org for those additions. i'd prefer something more focused for sending feedback (e.g. bugs) back to the original authors. > can motivate more people to get involvrd with the framework part of > KDE and less with the desktop enviroment. how will agregating plasmoids encourage people to hack on libs? > I am highly interested in helping refactoring the kdeplasma-addons > repository.(Of course if it is being decided.) > > What do you think? i think having a place for 3rd party non-C++ plasmoids to be added and promoted is a good idea. i don't think it has anything to do with kdeplasma- addons, and i think we'd need to think hard about what such an effort would do better / different than kde-apps.org. i also think that getting plasmate into the best shape possible is even more important than this. -- Aaron J.
