You can start by emailing the original author. If you don't get a
satisfactory response follow the same procedure as the previous person
and upload your plugin to http://plugins.qgis.org/ and possibly create a
project for it on http://hub.qgis.org
There are a few questions I'm not sure about:
Should the name be changed so both plugins can exist side by side?
How long should one wait before circumventing the original author if
they don't respond?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi
At the moment I am also working on upgrading a python plugin (Colour
scale bar by bc-consult). Only a little testing is left and no changes
to the user interface are made. Now the plugin should support linear
interpolation (interpolates to ~200 color values if there are less than
100 colors specified) and treat exact styles like discrete styles
without interpolation.
The question is: should i make a new Plugin-Project or is there a way to
update the old one for me. Or is it better to send the code to one which
updates the plugin?
best whishes

Hello,
First, sorry for my english
Second :
I've upgraded the python plugin made by Mr Jurgiel "Profile", witch is
now able to work with polyline, with on the fly projection of raster,
and with multi-band raster. I'm "amateur" developer, and i think i'm
quite representative of people who don't know so much about
development, but want humbly to contribute ...
I wanted to join Mr Jurgiel to see if there's a place (like git..)
where i can find and modify the source. but i found nothing.
Then, readinq qgis web pages, i learned that there is the site
"http://plugins.qgis.org/"; where plugin can be shared. I registered
and shared the plugin.
also, i decided to create a project under
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-user-plugins, as recommended
So, i've got some questions and remarks :
- If Mr Jurgiel see my post, does he let me the right to share the
plugin, whitch is under GNU LGPL ? (Do i need his agreement? - there's
a copyright with his name on the top of .py code, what does it involve ?)
- How do i know that the plugin is validated on
http://plugins.qgis.org/ ? And if he's not, how do i know why ?
I think that de validation procedure is quite complicated, everybody
should put a plugin on http://plugins.qgis.org/. Maybe enabling
comments about the plugin on this page should be a good way to :
-know if the plugin is good or not,
-simply have remarks about the plugin, without opening the tracker
procedures. That is simplier for lot of people.
-Then, creating a project on
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-user-plugins, i didn't succeed in
creating project within the qgis-user-plugins
<http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-user-plugins> projet. is it normal
? I 've read that the admin of the site is moving plugin ? Also, how
enabling maximum of people to contribute on this plugin ?
To conclude, i'm not a pro, but i have good intentions. if the basic
procedure is explained on http://plugins.qgis.org/, some points are
not explained, and amateur like me could be quite lost :
how do i know if the plugin shared is validated ? how long does it
take ? and if not validated, why ?
how do i create a project within qgis-user-plugins
<http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-user-plugins> project ?
thank you for your attention and your answers,
Patrice, France
