Simon Brown Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 All the plugins that i've open-sourced in the past have been ones that I don't care about and had just one or two lines of important code. A while a ago I (possibly temporarily) gave up on adding native support for APNG to my animated image plugin - it would open them fine and save without exceptions, but other programs wouldn't accept its output. There are also some changes suggested by other people which I don't have time to implement (at least, not on my own) and such functionality may be useful in other applications/plugins. Because of this, i'm considering licensing it under LGPL, MIT or Apache and uploading it onto Sourceforge or Google Code. However, it would be pointless open-sourcing a non-trivial plugin if no-one would be interested in the project so I am opening a thread to ask this question as well as ask if anyone has an opinion on licenses.

pyrochild Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 File formats have been a particular area of interest of mine lately, starting with .ASE and other Adobe formats, so I'd certainly poke around in your APNG code a bit. Shouldn't this be in Plugin Developer's Central, though? Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

usedHONDA Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 That would be great for PDN development. It's only a matter of deciding where to upload the source code (we could even make it the primary place to upload plugins to). Among SourceForge and Google Code, there are many other great open-source sites (Github is great).

Simon Brown Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 there are many other great open-source sites (Github is great). Well, personally i'd prefer one that supports SVN (I didn't mention CodePlex because it doesn't natively use SVN). The WHOIS record of GitHub tells me it was registered in 2007 by an individual, so I don't know how long it'll stay around. Edit: On re-reading, the second part of my comment sounds like FUD, especially given that I can just move it to another site and i'll only use the service to host source code and binaries.

usedHONDA Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well, Github is the main place to post the source code for Ubiquity scripts, so I'd bet it'll stay around for awhile Quote "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
