If you know about the firefox add-on manager, that's the basic concept. An in-application tool for searching for, downloading, installing and uninstalling plugins, langscapes, scripts and so on. > what prerequisites would you like from a developer tackling this project ? Stellarium is written in C++, so you have to be ok with the language. I feel like one of the major challenges in implementing this blueprint is the design of the user interface. We use QT for our UI elements, so some familiarity with QT in general, and forms-based GUI creation in particular would be very helpful. Some parts of this blueprint have been written already (e.g. solar system editor plugin), but are spread around the app a little. Bogdan might have some useful input about that and how it might be integrated into a unified extension manager. > How difficult do you think it will be to implement Depends on your skill level :) Please set yourself up with a working build environment and have a poke around with the app, and data sets for it. I would recommend starting with landscapes.
