QGIS Web Apps

What we will be working on:

• Plugins app
• Home Page
• Symbols repository
• Other apps: bug fixes

Plugins App

• support for the new metadata .ini file format
• per_page list view (almost done)
• better list views layout
• Web Service API
• added POST decorator to all actions

New .ini metadata

• Is the old XML format deprecated ?
• Do we need to show a warning message ?

Required Metadata

• name
• description
• version
• icon
• qgisMinimumVersion

Not used in QGIS, Web app only:

• author (from User model, with email etc.)
• experimental
• changelog from file ?
• tags ? (CSV)
• deprecated (add flag) ?

Git & tracker integration

• tracker
  • central ?
• repository
  • github ?
  • redmine ?

Changelog from package

• Changelog is now mandatory for all revisions except when the plugin is created (should be the first revision).
• We can read the changelog from a CHANGELOG file (AFAIK multiline values are problematic in .ini files)

Web service API

• XML-RPC: (supports JSON-RPC) is very easy to implement
• REST: more complicated do implement and not completely supported (i.e. from some browsers)

Guess what I vote for ?

Home Page

• Aggregator: latest plugins / latest users / latest feed entries ...
• CMS basic infrastructure is in place: basic flat pages and navigation menus

Symbols repository
