[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 361073, member: 10723"] I am preparing a news entry right now. we are using the [URL="http://remository.com/"]opensource remository[/URL] on our homepage we want to: [LIST] [*]take its current svn sourcecode and work from that [I](create "our" repository)[/I] [*]add new features: [LIST] [*]versioning - a skin for example just has one entry in the repository, which gets upated. in the entry you can see old versions, and changelog. right now you can see that developers and skinners create a new entry for every version they release. this makes automated updates inside the MPI-application impossible, because it can not check one entry for updates [*]create new "views" i.e. "Top 10 skins", "Most downloaded Skins", etc. this should help to make them more popular [*]improve the "update" process for those which store extensions in our repository [*]more smaller changes / features [/LIST] [*]improove the look and feel of the online repository intselfe. [/LIST] So as you can see, we do not only need an skilled wev-developer, but also one which is willing to donate quite a big amount of sparetime (like every other team member does ;) ). We tried to get web-developers into the team for more then one year now. Besides of [I]"many words and hot air"[/I] we never received anything working. btw. i guess that some are about to write [I]"then use an other repository"[/I] or [I]"create your own"[/I]. remository is a very good and stable software. creating a new one from scratch is hopeless because it requires A LOT of time, experience and many web-developers [I](which we do not have ;) )[/I]. We were also looking at many other repositories during the last year [I](including OpenMaid)[/I], but none of them is "better" then what we have right now. And all need to be changed to get the features in we want. [/QUOTE]
