I'm also thinking about documentation. What format is required to<br>
document Python plugins? Is there a template?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><p>I don't think many python plugins have any documentation beyond the 'about' text! <br></p><p>Qgis' own documentation (from Help... Help Contents) is just some html in the Qgis doc folder. What we could do is standardize on something like that for plugins - have a doc folder in each plugin with an index.html file and then whatever other documentation can be put and linked from there. </p>
<p>Carson Farmer's ftools plugin has an 'About' menu option that gives a dialog with a 'Web' button that heads off to the internet to get the documentation for fTools. This could be easily modified to get the documentation from $MYPLUGINDIR/doc to avoid relying on a network connection.</p>
