Hey everyone, thanks for all the positive feedback! I've only released the tool 8 hours ago, and we already have 30 tools listed. Awesome! Let's try to get it to 100 in the next few days :)
I've released a new version (http://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/directory) that incorporates a few of the suggestions here: * It's now possible to add multiple tools to one toolinfo.json file. Simply stick your tools in an array instead of an object. Here's an example: http://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/toolinfo.json * Because of this new format it's important to have a unique `name` property. This should preferably be something like 'yourusername-toolname'. For the 'pretty' title in the directory use the new 'title' property. The current name will now be used as a title, but this will probably be deprecated in the future, so change your toolinfo.json files accordingly. * Toolnames are no longer needed on the Directory page on the Wikitech wiki. Just an URL is enough. I've updated this page to reflect the new format. Comments (preceded by a # hash) are now allowed to structure the file better. * You can now add multiple authors to a tool. Simply separate by comma, just like the keywords. I considered using arrays for keywords/authors, but it was a bit of a hassle on the database, so for now i'm sticking with commas (hopefully nobody has a name with a comma in it :) * I've added a very rudimentary ranking system, using the number of clicks on the tool as a metric (no IP's or anything are recorded, just number of clicks). Keep on submitting those toolinfo.json's! -- Hay / Husky On Wed, Aug 13, 2014 at 9:38 PM, Magnus Manske <magnusman...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > > On Wed, Aug 13, 2014 at 5:16 PM, Hay (Husky) <hus...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hey Magnus, >> thanks!
