Hi Mathias, I don't understand the difference between "optional" and "recommended", I mean the fields are already "optional" (not mandatory) and "recommended" because the developer (and staff members) every time they browse the plugin page see the following message: Some important informations are missing from the plugin metadata (homepage, tracker or repository). Please consider creating a project on hub.qgis.org and filling the missing metadata. This is what I mean with "recommended", and you? Of course we can print a better message, suggestions welcome! Making the field mandatory would prevent all plugins without those fields from being uploaded in the first place. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
