Here's a question for erland: You've done some great work in your plugins, adding a lot of features that people have wanted within SlimServer for quite some time.
Why not get onboard, talk with whoever is now in charge of Slim software development, and work within the main SlimServer and database? It just strikes me that eventually you're going to develop an entirely new browsing and library management system, but it's all going to be within your plugins... Why not incorporate that functionality directly within the server and take advantage of SD's QA, an increased beta tester base, and the cooperation of the other developers? Right now you end up jumping through a lot of hoops, and figuring out workarounds to be able to do what you want - wouldn't the alternative approach both be easier and benefit more end users? Plugins are great, but it seems to me that they should be relegated to smaller bits and pieces that won't likely ever be a part of SlimServer, not major undertakings redefining how people use the server. Does my question make sense? -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31431 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
