yes, i had a look and it seems to be surprisingly simple to include its basic functionality (see below). > However, I have not done much reading on this, and I don't know > what the provider, data, and meta-files would look like, exactly, how the > data should be packaged, etc. So - if you have some time, and you could > try to find out about that, that would really be helpful. if i'm right, then KHotNewStuff2 is the thing to have a closer look at: o http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/K_Hot_New_Stuff2 in theory, three steps are neccessary to get it to work: - ask newstuff.kde.org for a repository, see "GHNS repositories" at o http://newstuff.kde.org/development.php i'd volunteer for the repository administration stuff. - create a small rkward.knsrc file, e.g. with content like [KNewStuff2] ProvidersUrl=http://newstuff.kde.org/cgi-bin/hotstuff-provider?site=RKWard Uncompress=archive InstallPath=.rkward/plugins/ - include KHotNewStuff2 invocation somewhere in the RKWard configuration dialog. some code hints can be found at the end of o http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/K_Hot_New_Stuff2 in the end this should open some "hot stuff" manager, show what's in the repository and allow you to download/remove available plugins. archives would get unpacked to $HOME/.rkward/plugins/. RKWard only has to make shure that new .pluginmap files are automatically added to its configuration. [btw, if it's not to big a deal to implement, i'd rather leave plugins packed in one archive file.] as soon as this works, the .pluginmap window is probably the place that would profit the most from some changes. what i'd like to see there would be meta information on all plugins, which could be stored in the .pluginmap file, e.g. Active Plugin Version [x] t-test 0.5.4 Two sample t-test dialog [ ] ANOVA 0.1b Support for ANOVA [x] IRT 0.5.4 Item response theory (Rasch model) ... i haven't found out about the details of the actually downloaded packages yet, but this is probably handled by the provider service anyway, so we wouldn't have to worry. can wait until we have something to toy around with, i think. viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at d"usseldorf
