On longer terms we need something else, but to make that happen there needs to be a business around this and it's pointless to discuss what will happen then, we will just have to wait and see.
Basically, let's take this in baby steps and see how it evolves. cparker wrote: > > There is so much code in LMS it cant all be bad :) apart from the web > interface stuck in the 1990s > It's not about the code being bad, it's about the code having a legacy of almost 10 years development and barely none in the community understanding how the different pieces works together and being willing to take over the maintenance, but as said above it's not an issue on short terms, it will become an issue some time after Logitech stops maintaining it. cparker wrote: > > Yep the whole install/remove extras sucks and needs to be reworked, > Logitech should have developed a store front framework > 100% agree, but a central app store is unlikely to happen unless there is a business/company around it. The tax regulations regarding selling apps world wide from a central store is just too tricky for an individual developer to handle, there is a reason I just use links to PayPal for my commercial plugins. Also, for an app store to be of interest the platform needs to have lots of users, a few thousand users will be way too little to motivate someone to make an operate an app store. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98179 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
