immediate goal

  • website with database of avialable libraries
  • command line tool

scope

  • libraries
  • uses Qt
  • open source as defined by DFSG

out of scope

  • proprietary
  • no selling mechanism

audience

  • Qt developers
  • both open source and proprietary

long term possibility

  • built packages


host code?

Pro:

  • More reliable
    • don't have to rely on 3rd parties being online/available
    • no broken links

Cons:

  • Need to do legal
  • More bandwidth and disk

Decision: host downloads .. tarballs + meta file (investigate using DOAP for the latter)

desired features

  • Metadata editable in website:
    • Name
    • License
    • Homepage link
    • Documentation link
    • Build system
  • Use KDE Identity for log in
  • Add/remove/update
  • Search driven
  • "Most downloaded" list
  • Comments
  • User ratings (multi-question survey)
  • No approval process, but a "report problem" link*
  • Uploads go under vendor namespaces, e.g. KDE/solid
