Every now and again (case in points - yesterday after Tampere MeeGo meetup) this pops up in conversations - people seem to miss a .jar like archive format for QML files. Basically, this would be a zipped bunch of qml files, and perhaps c++ modules.
Such a thing could be used to easily distribute qml assets. While you can currently bundle files together in a program binary using Qt resource system, that doesn't make sense for libraries. Also, a compressed archive of qml files would be easier to modify without messing with full toolchains. The scheme (once specified) would probably not be that hard to implement, it'd most probably involve adding a new url scheme to the current "network transparent" import system. While you could argue that Python did just fine without zipimport for a long time, eventually they deemed it a valuable feature to have. -- Ville M.
