I don't know why it was not acceptable, probably because he used yahoo. I forked the extension, after he switched to gnome-weather, which was useless for people not living in major cities (and even then the location was often nit found). So I reverted these changes and switched to openweathermap.org and used their site also to search the location. In the meantime I also added forecast.io as weather provider and switched location-search to openstreetmaps.org (nomination), which works much better. I personally like my extension more, because it has a slightly different layout (more clear in my opinion, but that's a matter of taste) and more configuration options. User can freely chose between both weather-providers as default provider and chose which one to use for single locations (instead of default), if one of the (at the moment two) providers is known to have better results/forecasts for a location. One problem might be, that forecast.io forces the use of an api-key. The api-key is free for up to thousand requests per day, but nevertheless a user will not get data without it. Openweathermap.org works without an api-key, but the prefer users to use one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
