Re: 3rd party app ppa

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi,

3rd party apps which follow elementary style are popping up like mushrooms in the last period. The community developed a lot of awesome applications like Birdie, Foto, Agenda and many others. 

My idea is to put all of them in one ppa, owned by elementary-os launchpad team, in order to have them in only one place. In this way I would be able to have a better platform where get elementary apps to sponsor in AppCenter.

Moreover a bigger range of users and testers would encourage developers to build an elementary app.

Best regards,
Mario
