Hi Paolo, hi all<br>
<br>
I am not understanding what you mean by fiiling appropriate tickets.<br>
My point with these messages was: I did what I read I should do, and
when I uploaded my plugin, I got error/warning messages...<br>
These are too big and flashy regarding to their importance
(homepage, tracker, repo, etc.)<br>
<br>
Also having to set sub-project and plugins is weird, as you have to
fill the info twice. I tried to look for the page where you set
tracker, repo etc. and cannot find it anymore. It's not clear if
it's possible or not to give the repo and that it is automatically
included in the hub/projects.<br>
Why not having only one of the two for the plugins?<br>
<br>
I also think that having developers to validate plugins is a useless
job. Because having number of downloads and users rating (via QGIS?)
and comments is imho far the best way of evaluating a plugin.
Second, I don't like very much the delay for the plugin to be
available (although I am known to be very impatient ;) ....<br>
<br>
Well, to finish I'll say I am a little sad regarding to the amount
of work that has been done on these website for the plugins. All
these stuff seems great on its own. But it does look like there used
to be a lack of aggreement / concertation. (I noticed the discussion
on the wiki). I would suggest to have a single page for howto
publish a plugin (1) and a single gateway to browse plugins, instead
of many (2) and without any link from qgis home page (!!!)<br>
<br>
I see that the discussion in the wiki

<a
href="http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Python_Plugin_Repositories">http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Python_Plugin_Repositories</a>
is going in that way and it's great. I know that this king of work
is not very sexy for developers, but the gain for users and
user-developers is huge!<br>

So the cookbook has to be fixed.

Can you please fill appropriate tickets suggesting better messages etc?
Thanks a lot for the effort. With your help, the process can be streamlined.
All the best.
