There's a page for 'official' extensions and targets in the forthcoming(?)
site. Official means issued by the ggi team.
I'd like to refer those with:
- a shortname like those used for tarballs, (eg. libxmi)
- a one-line summary,
- a longer description
- a (list of?) maintainer(s) : name and email
- the last version number
- the release date
- optional comment on the last release
- url
- documentation. preferably in a 'standard' format (I suggest basic html 4)
It would be easier to find out what is usable, what is obsolete...
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Eric.
