[Qgis-developer] Duplicate plugins: proposal

[Niccolò Marchi]

Hi all,
could it be an idea to add somewhere on the “about plugins“ page:

1.       An advice to “check for improvements before creating new and get in contact with the author”,

2.       And/or an additional page (read-only for users) dealing with “proposed merges” where , the qgis developers who are testing more plugins similar to each other, can resume which features can be collected and from where.

Topic


-          Plugin 1


-          Feature 1

-          Feature 2


-          Plugin 2


-          Feature 1

-          Feature 2


In the latter case, after a while, it could be then useful to send a general email to the plugin devs to get in contact with each other according to the “clustered scheme” that dinamically will be created. Plugin developers will still be free to keep their own plugin but, at least, it can stimulate the more collaborative ones. A sort of coordination proposal about what the project “needs”.
In the worst  case, it may work as a general framework for future funded (?) projects.

All the best,

Nic
