Searchable generator describition file for catalog system #4

Closed MikeKutz closed 8 years ago

MikeKutz commented 8 years ago

For mass adoption of the oddgen project by the general public, I believe that a single web-site that contains a catalog of (links to) oddgen generators is needed.

I think the model that is used for APEX Plugins would be ideal. ( https://apex.world/ords/f?p=100:700 )

Within that model, each oddgen generator is maintained in its own GitHub repository. The author than "registers" his/hers oddgen generator within the Catalog site. The Catalog application reads a particular data file in order to acquire the necessary metadata needed to create an entry within the catalog.

At the very least, a file, that matches the ones for apex.world, should exist.

Right now such a global template/generator repository does not exist. I'm happy to provide the necessary information as soon as such a repository will become available. In the meantime a simple list as on https://www.oddgen.org/generators/ must be sufficient.

However, as already discussed in https://github.com/oddgen/oddgen/issues/33 this is a topic for the Working group: Template Repository. It is certainly not a topic of the Bitemp Remodeler. Therefore I categorise this issue as invalid and will close it.
