Hi Devs, doing some plugins, and working both with plugins from hub.qgis.org/projects/.../repository (my own) and plugins living at github (wktplugin from Allesandro), it appears to me that github seems to work more transparant for me...
Eg at github after a couple of days you could see that people forked Allesandro's plugin and you could even see what they were doing with it (by going to the forkers github repo). I could even contact those people to ask to do a pull request etc etc. I think, this cannot be done at our own hub.qgis.org-repo? Or am I missing something in this? I think it is really helpfull to see what other people are adding/doing with a plugin. And it hopefully also minimizes the private branching/forking of plugins. I read something about the old jquery plugins site, which broke down, and now there is a message at http://blog.jquery.com/2011/12/08/what-is-happening-to-the-jquery-plugins-site/ that says: "we’ve started converting our plans into action, building out an infrastructure that’s backed by GitHub". Isn't that an ideal situation for QGIS plugin future to? I am NOT wanting to throw away the infrastructure we have now! It's just that I like the jquery plugin idea... Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde ps as a temporary solution I think to fork (is forking actually adding a new remote?) my repo's to github too... ps2 (sorry for too much words on the list from my side.... I will go in stealth mode .... now) _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
