"If somebody can convince me that we as a community can set up a compendium of Android developer resources that *will* be found by newcomers, despite the assumption of not getting any links off of official Android sites, then I'll be more likely to move more quickly. "
If things are set up like Youtube that may be an indication of popularity. Once people see what's possible with Android, all the amazing things that can be done, especially with My App(codenamed "Bird"), then they'll jump on board as if it's heavy duty Applets. Even before they become easier to create. The whole thing will look easy, small screen, youtube like App Market, etc. Hence, the loss of Standards. - Juan On Sep 4, 12:31 pm, Mark Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Shane Isbell wrote: > > Or you could just open a site on sourceforge or google code to do this. > > If the goal is to merely have a directory of "externally written android > widgets", you are correct, one does not need Google for that. > > In fact, I've toyed with setting up a resource directory site for > Android developers, to cover links to components (e.g., widgets), links > to tutorials, links to discussion groups, etc. Perhaps set up as a wiki > or something, for simplified community contributions.
