Reorganization of the WPS Gallery

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sherv:
Neat, I'm excited to see how the repository works out! Thanks for working on it.

Hi,
I have seen, that the link from the Extras site was erased, but unfortunately nothing changed in the WPS Gallery. Unfortunately most WPS, which are uploaded there aren't attractive.  We should ask ourselves, why that's the case.
Ok, the design of the site isn't very attractive, but I think the most important
thing is to relieve the WPS designers the upload of their themes. A formular would be very useful, so people doesn't have to edit the site and people haven't to register.
Besides a input from a formular would make the site more structured and clearly.
I can't program with PHP, otherwise I would try to improve the WPS site by myself, but I program with Python, and I can't imagine, that a feature like that is difficult or expensive.

Do you think it's doesn't useful? I think it's important, that the official WPS site from Rockbox isn't outdated.

Someone is already working on setting up a new, official site for the themes.  The reorganization is somewhat temporary to separate abandoned and out-dated, non-working, and non-licensed themes from the ones that are up-to-date and/or appropriately licensed.  Once the new site is up, the themes that are properly licensed and up-to-date will be moved to the new site.  The "graveyard" is there to hold onto the other themes until such time as their authors update them and properly license them.

Well, this "feature" has one major drawback: it needs someone doing the work. And as all work here is done voluntarily (as you most likely know) it will get done when someone intersted finds enough time. Having an official theme site is planned since months now ...

Ubuntuxer:
I didn't wanted to be unkind, I know that Rockbox is a OpenSource Project and people spend their freetime for working on it. I want just to initiate a discussion about the WPS Gallery to improve it, because I don't know that's currently in development. (Sorry, I haven't found something in the Tracker.)
