"Description" is already a required metadata field, of course we have not an AI in place to determine the meaningfulness of the description. This is the list of required metadata fields: 'name', 'description', 'version', 'qgisMinimumVersion', 'author', 'email' Note: I'm always speaking about the official plugins repository. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
