I had an idea some days ago. There are lots of symfony blogs now. It's great. But ! I was thinking of a "plugin review post". It would be a plugin review, introducing it, saying what are the pros and cons saying what could be improved and a final contribution of reviewer would be perfect.
I think i'll do an exemple during my next holidays. :) It would really be a good idea ? ----- Message d'origine ---- De : Dave Dash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> À : [email protected] Envoyé le : Vendredi, 7 Décembre 2007, 22h58mn 20s Objet : [symfony-devs] Re: Re : [symfony-devs] Re: Re : [symfony-devs] Re: Symfony and bad coding habits I like the open format we have now, but yeah, we can improve the lot of plugins we have now, quite a bit. Many of the plugins I've made suffer from that, some might even be... out dated or deprecated. I'm eager to see sf-forge - I think that'll help quite a bit.

Or "symfony mentors" could help plugin makers to imrove the global quality of the plugin (doc, coding rules....)

I must admit, I'm on your side on this one. I do think it's important that plug ins are better organized, and rated. Hopefully symfony-force will solve his. Just because it's free, itdoesn't mean you shouldn't expect some kind of quality from it - symfony itself is after all free! It would be really useful to see things like comments and ratings for a plugin, along with who maintains it , and perhaps a list of sites using each plugin. > http://www.symfony-forge.org/ is probably a good idea, but unless I'm > missing something, this is basically just a list of plugins, with moslty > dead wiki-pages, with the option to rate them.

I believe it will be the 'offical' plugin place at some point. Jon Wage - your input please :) -- Ian P. Christian ~ http://pookey.co.uk Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !
