Hi! As mentioned in the other thread, there is a need for a new community-driven template gallery. I am proposing basic and simple approach based on github repository developed through pull requests. You can find the first draft here: https://github.com/Ziemin/pio-engine-templates
- The central part of this repo is the *templates.yaml *file*, *where new engines are introduced in a unified way*. *At this moment I tried to keep the schema possibly similar to the old template gallery. - README.md grouping and listing engines is not modifiable, as it is generated by the python script - *generate_md.py*. Every update to the yaml config should entail rerun of the script. Keeping a separate yaml file with all the information related to engines has both positive and negative sides. Obviously the most visible drawback is the requirement of re-runing the script manually. On the other hand, it helps keep the entries in a consistent manner. What is more, future changes to the esthetics of README.md file will rely exclusively on the script. We can also imagine a situation, when someone would create a separate website having some more user friendly capabilities like searching and filtering templates, which would link to the yaml file in the central repository. I tried to add the buttons with github stars for every template, but it appears that github ignores necessary html tags (iframe). I am aware that neither schema nor README.md is perfect. This repo is a draft and definitely could use some comments. Regards, Marcin
