Maybe something like the software that mentors.debian.net uses would work? They use Debexpo (http://wiki.debian.org/Debexpo), and it looks like it can be deployed on anything; I'm guessing that includes whatever is being used to host the elementary website. The whole project is meant to help people

I agree with Mario that we need to solve this ASAP. However I also agree with Cody that we can't be responsible for packaging. We need to figure out an app submission process that puts the responsibility on these 3rd parties Best Regards, Daniel Foré El abr 6, 2013, a las 6:20 a.m., Mario Guerr

Alright guys, I think it would be a good start to select an application and try to start writing tests with it. It seems like GLib's testing environment should be satisfactory (see this: http://blog.remysaissy.com/2012/11/setting-up-unit-tests-in-vala-project.html); however, Vala's development env

We should only create a ppa and put some rules for it. Every 3rd party developer who wants his app in this ppa should email one of us and then we will review the app quality and approve/disapprove its adding. That's all. Il sab, apr 6, 2013 at 3:18 ,Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff ha scritto: I've

I wrote almost every third party's debian packaging so that would be me maintaining that. I'm up for it, it's just possible it could get out of control. On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 8:00 AM, Mario Guerriero wrote: > Cody I mean that every third party developer should be able to put his > apps in one

Cody I mean that every third party developer should be able to put his apps in one of our ppa just asking us. We don't have to maintain anything. They must have care of them own stuffs. Il sab, apr 6, 2013 at 2:57 ,Cody Garver ha scritto: We need to figure out someway to showcase them, but my

We need to figure out someway to showcase them, but my opinion is that we already have too much to maintain without taking on third parties. On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 7:49 AM, Mario Guerriero wrote: > Hi, > > 3rd party apps which follow elementary style are popping up like mushrooms > in the last
