Title: Addons board?
Post by: emanuele on December 06, 2013, 05:48:30 am
We have our first beta out (and maybe "soonish" a beta 1.1 or 2), what do you think about a board for addons?
Share them, discuss them, the usual stuff.

Maybe we (as in everybody that has an idea on how to create it ;)) could put together and add a "label topics" addon to the site and apply it to that board as well, to help organize things?

Just giving this a bump.

There are several addons available so it may make sense to have a board to highlight whats available?  What should be in the board?  A topic per addon?  or maybe just redirects to the repos where they live?  I "completed"  :P 3 addons in the last few days so I'm working away on them, creating bugs on the way of course !

Use the wiki on Github and then make the board redirect to that.

I'd say a normal board where anyone can advertise their addons with preferably one topic per addon (or one topic per author, if the author prefers like that).

Let's face it: people looking for addons are not people used to github neither to its wiki. They are used to forums and as such they expect to find things in a forum.

It is time to have a list of themes and mods made available for first time visitors.

I volunteer you to make that list. :)

I wish I could. Hardly get time for such work these days.  :(

I'd favour a board with one topic per addon, same for themes (inkl. variants + custom.css files)

I think board would be great and easy to locate as well.

When someone submits a topic tagging addon, you should probably implement that in this addons board. It makes searching much easier, especially if you're not going to use a wiki or something with more granular categorization.
