Need mailing list

  • Need to file a sysadmin bugzilla

Linux Install Fest 2nd week of October

Extensions

  • Need to talk to core developers about extensions/implementing extension functionality (ex. GNOME weather w/ weather indicator)
  • Get the design team to give guidelines for extension developers
  • Give "do's" and "don'ts" since currently there isn't enough information on how to support extensions (esp. common use cases like indicators, status-menu-panels)
  • Create a wiki page for extensions and extension community stuff
  • Currently it's hard to find information about it or about how to get in contact
  • Ask Bastian and Carlos where it makes sense to have this wiki since it can be used to get newcomers
  • Extensions are an easy way to get into shell programming
  • Want people to follow our guidelines as a helping hand and to encourage best practices
  • Would be nice to establish a mailing list for extensions #gnome-shell
  • Mario will be more involved mid-october / early november

Action Items

  • @Mario request a mailing list by filing a sysadmin bugzilla

  • Create a wiki
  • Add information to newcomers page
  • @Razvan Ask Carlos where extensions should be posted on newcomer page or if he has any ideas for how to get people interested in extensions.
