However, there are some much needed improvements which are hard to carry out based on the current platform, and the work due to abuse is growing. We cannot continue this on our own, unfortunately. In particular, we really need better search and categorization functionality, and would also like to integrate the registry more tightly with The GIMP, such that downloading and installing plug-ins becomes more straightforward. This new structure should also help combat abuse much more effectively. This is no longer just a web-development issue, but much more a plug-in development task. Therefore, I would like to ask /you/ for some help with that. Specifically, we need a plug-in which could access a back-end database over the Internet, carry out queries, receive data in XML or JSON format, download plug-ins, and install them automatically. Ideally, it should also be able to display and acquire meta-data, such as ratings, permissions required, etc. Any takers? cheers, Ingo _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
