New QGIS Web Infrastructure

What we will be working on:

• Plugins app

• Home Page

• Symbols repository

• Other apps: bug fixes

• 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

• Is the old XML format deprecated ?

• Do we need to show a warning message ?

• 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) ?

• tracker

  • central ?

• repository

  • github ?

  • redmine ?

• 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)

• 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 ?

• Aggregator: latest plugins / latest users / latest feed entries ...

• CMS basic infrastructure is in place: basic flat pages and navigation menus
