<br>
My name is Klas Karlsson and I dabble with QGIS in my spare
time, and once in a while I get an idea... <br>
<br>
# Proposal to implement a "QGIS Hub" on the official <a href="http://qgis.org" target="_blank">qgis.org</a>
site. <br>
<br>
## Background <br>
<br>
I was creating a lot of styles just for fun, and was thinking
about creating a PR to the QGIS GitHub. <br>
However, a lot of the styles were really intricate and might
apply to relatively few use cases. <br>
In stead of filling up the default styles with nice but really
"un-expandable" styles, there should be <br>
an easier way. <br>
<br>
Sure, there's the resource sharing plugin, and it works great.
But it is a lot of steps to go through <br>
for someone that is only interested in sharing a simple style or
two. Enter the idea of a "style hub". <br>
<br>
On <a href="https://style-hub.github.io" target="_blank">https://style-hub.github.io</a>
I created a demo of how it could look. I also created <a href="https://layout-hub.github.io" target="_blank">https://layout-hub.github.io</a>
<br>
and that made me realize that there may be a few of these
simpler resource files that the community <br>
would like to share, but don't because of the complexity to do
so. <br>
<br>
## QGIS Hub <br>
<br>
So why not at central "Hub" for all kinds of small and easy to
share resources? <br>
<br>
On <a href="https://github.com/style-hub/hub-server/" target="_blank">https://github.com/style-hub/hub-server/</a>
I started a project to create such a hub. <br>
During the development so far I've used local servers to test
it, but to get some feed-back <br>
I also set up a site on free hosting at <a href="http://qgis-hub.rf.gd" target="_blank">http://qgis-hub.rf.gd</a>, which isn't
great since it for instance lack <br>
TLS/SSL, which is required for some functions, but it should be
enough to get some user reactions. <br>
<br>
The goal is to create the style-hub first, and then use that to
"clone" it to a layout-hub too. <br>
<br>
I'm doing this because it's fun and educational, but if it gets
approval it would probably look good at: <br>
<br>
__hub.qgis.org__ <br>
<br>
## Requirements <br>
<br>
The code is available at GitHub and basically the requirements
are: <br>
<br>
* PHP web hosting <br>
* MySQL database (users and meta data) <br>
* TLS/SSL for https (required for some functions) <br>
* Storage space for resource files (write access) (1 Gb will
probably store well over 1'000 resources) <br>
<br>
I'm willing to continue to work on the site, but I would prefer
not to do so alone, since I don't <br>
have the time to drop everything if there's a problem (as
mentioned in the beginning I'm doing this in my <br>
spare time). <br>
My skills at PHP and MySQL is also limited (this is a learning
experience), <br>
so the code would probably benefit from some audit, and if the
hub is to be included in the official site <br>
I guess it should be styled in the same way, which also would
require some work. <br>
<br>
For now I will continue to work on the site at <a href="http://qgis-hub.rf.gd" target="_blank">http://qgis-hub.rf.gd</a> as long as I
think it is still fun <br>
and I have time available. <br>
<br>
Best regards <br>
<br>
