Here are the options, and what is holding back each one. If someone has something they can donate (time or servers) to get one of these going, let me know and I'll work with you. Option one is to have some sort of system where one could sign up, post scripts, rate other's scripts, comments on each other's scripts, offer patches, etc..., all hosted on SourceForge. This would be a lot of work, and it needs to be written in PHP. I can't help with this because I don't know PHP, I don't have the time to learn it, nor the time to implement something with it. If anyone knows PHP, or wants to learn it, and has time to do the development, let me know and I'll help get you set up. Option two is to host your scripts somewhere else that already is in existence, most likely at a python script warehouse, or a Qt or KDE program warehouse. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a site that I personally enjoy and find useful, so there is no place that I can suggest for this. If anyone knows of a good site, let me know. Option three is to use someone's web server, install mod_perl with apache, and get a real solution together, not this PHP stuff that SourceForge requires us to use. I would enjoy doing a lot of development work putting together an interactive website. The only downside is that we need to find someone with a suitable server. Those are the three long tem solutions I am looking at. The most realistic and the best option in my opinion is the first one. However, I myself cannot implement it.

Jim, Thanks for the offer. Is the server running Linux? Would you mind if I used Apache and mod_perl with a PostgreSQL database to get this done? Would you mind if I was able to have a normal user account on the system? I think it is a great idea to have something like this hosted outside of SourceForge because we can have so much control over it. The only worry is that if it gets terribly busy, will it impose on your ISP bill? I always like using SourceForge for bandwidth munching things because the bill ends up in VA's lap. Anyway, I have a few people who are willing to do this using PHP on the SourceForge site, so if there is any reason you would be uncomfortable doing this, don't be afraid to let me know. -- Jonathan Gardner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Qt perl apache and linux ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

Jonathan, Jim, what do you think about a contribution package section. I think it is a great idea. I think it is necessary for wide-spread acceptance of PyQt and PyKDE. Our goal is world domination, isn't it? ;-) My goal is to just get the next release done (I don't know if that deserves a :) or :( ) I thought this was great software back when it was 1.0, and a lot of stuff (including Phil's v 4.0 and Detlev's 'eric') is going to make it even better. I'd like to see sip, PyQt and PyKDE get wider use and recognition. I probably average privately an inquiry per month from people who want to build on top of PyQt/PyKDE, but a lot of that is still proprietary stuff. That's in addition to stuff like Gerard's package and some other things on sf that occasionally get mentioned here.
