</div>I agree this is not the main point. The main thing is to have to do only<br>
one operation to publish a plugin, not a series (preparing the zip,<br>
uploading it, adding a redmine project, adding a git project, etc.).<br>
Could you please add your thoughts to the roadmap, not to be forgotten?<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Paolo,<div><br></div><div>It seems like your thoughts are quite different than mine.... IMHO it would be sufficient to create a QGIS plugin that helps in the packaging and uploading phase. </div>
<div><br></div><div>But it seems you want to go further and have a mechanism to automate the initial creation of a plugin development infrastructure (git, redmine etc). This is a much more complex task and implies some (to be carefully evaluated) interaction with other components (like git or redmine) with all security and system-level problems.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I will add a note on the wiki about the first phase but it's better if you add a detailed description about what's in your mind about the second phase. I remember a discussion in September about this, but I cannot remember that we reached a decision about where to go.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Can we use this time (before the hackfest) to talk about and reach a decision about this further improvements of the plugins website ?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>-- <br>Alessandro Pasotti<br>
