[Qgis-developer] Approving plugins

2014-04-28 Thread Paolo Cavallini
Hi all. I'm keeping on publishing plugins. The work is going rather smoothly, apart for a few authors not respondign at all. BTW, it would be very useful to add to the Django appa field for editor notes[0]. Is anyone willing to add this? Thanks. [0] http://hub.qgis.org/issues/10125 -- Paolo Caval

Hi all. 10 plugins are currentyl under approval: http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/unapproved/ Several of them are missing important information from the plugin metadata (homepage, tracker or repository). Could please the authors add these infos, so we can approve them? Thanks. -- Paolo Cavallini

Hi all. The approval procedure for plugins is somewhat uncertain at the moment. This is causing delays for users and discontent for developers. I suggest to decide one, e.g.: - appointing a plugin manager, who is responsible for either: - approving it within (one week?) - sending to another de
