Indeed, one of the main reasons for creating exchange was to make a webapp that was a lot more tightly integrated with the efl. Personally, I would like to see a ecore-style C library for exchange, so that people can just plop it into their apps and get a full repository of themes for their specific app. Exchange already records version numbers, so your themes could have automatic updates as well! And we can certainly do more to bridge the gap between the desktop and the web. But we gotta be careful, we go too far and you'll start seeing browsers in text editors!
As far as websites go, as morlenxus said, get-e.org will be going away. I am going to miss the news articles that morlenxus posts regularly, so hopefully, we'll see him posting news on the front page of enlightenment.org e17-stuff.org seems to be operated by somebody else (not the e community) for ad revenue, and also seems to be down as I am writing this email... exchange should become the main site for themes, especially after we get desktop integration. -Sthitha On Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 5:12 AM, Jose Gonzalez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Vincent wrote: > >> >> On Sun, 20 Jul 2008, Jose Gonzalez wrote: >> >>> I agree that discussion on this important aspect of >>> "e-and-the-web" would >>> be excellent, and it's something I tried to mention several times. >>> But what's >>> better about this particular exchange thing is the potential for it >>> to evolve >>> into something far more than the current set of 'themes' sites like >>> get-e or e17-stuff. >>> Those haven't done a thing as far inovation or advancing the >>> bleeding edge >>> of "e and the web", they're just mainly repositories.
