Reorganization of the WPS Gallery

(1/3) > >>

Ubuntuxer:
I would like to start a discussion about the WPS Gallery.
The unofficial http://rockbox-themes.org site is absoutely outdateted and at least since r17763 the WPS Themes don't work. It doesn't seems to me, that the author will open the page to edit again. The problem is that beginners especially, who are not so familiar with the english language, doesn't read the hint and try the themes from the rockbox-themes.org site. Because of that I would erase the link from the Rockbox Extras site completely. Unfortunately popular WPS Themes like Azure Ultimate from the rockbox-theme.org site are just updatet in Forums. The reasons could be, that the WPS Gallery isn't very attractive and famous. On the WPS site some links in the first paragraph don't work.

We should make announcments in the forums (http://www.anythingbutipod.com/...) to upload their Wps, also in the WPS Gallery.
Besides it would be great, if user could upload their WPS with a formular. This would improve the clarity and isn't much effort.

I'm looking forward to hear your opinions...

Llorean:
We've always recommended people upload to the WPS gallery on the wiki. People do not listen, or complain that they can't take the time to learn how.

scorche:
A new official repository is currently being worked on (although is currently at a bit of an impass at the moment).  This will replace both the WPS gallery and rockbox-themes.org and will be much more "automatic" and easier to use.

Patience.  :)

Ubuntuxer:
I would like to help working on the new official repository.  :)
What can I do?

linuxstb:
I'm slowly working on the new themes site (it's been on hold for a few months), but hope to go back to it in the next few days.

It's written in PHP and will probably use a mysql database.  The intention is for the code that runs the site to be publically available via the Rockbox SVN (and designed so developers can easily install local copies of it), so everyone will be welcome to hack on it and submit patches in the usual way.
