Yes, this is exactly how it should work: once a new plugin author is known not to be an evil bad guy he gets flagged as "trusted" (every staff member can flag another user as trusted from the front-end). Being a "trusted" user means to have "plugins.can_approve" permissions (i.e. having all versions automatically approved on upload). All this things have been discussed and agreed on this list (a few months ago) and are documented here: https://github.com/qgis/qgis-django/blob/master/qgis-app/plugins/docs/introduction.rst What we really need now is somebody to help with documenting this stuff in a more user-friendly way and improve/maintain the HTML pages on plugins.qgis.org , also text of the warning or error messages can be improved, a mothertongue english speaker could lend a hand on this topic. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
