Re: [gDesklets] Official desklets

Hi there,

> I have seen in gdesklets web site there are more desklets, great!

Hmmm... I still don't see any new desklets or controls (like the SOAP 
control).

> However, which ones are the "official ones"?

Well... basically the ones that are shipped with gDesklets (aka the 
"basic desklets"). So far these are:

- 15 pieces puzzle
- Calendar
- Clock
- Quote of the day

("official homepage": 
https://code.launchpad.net/~gdesklets-desklet-team/gdesklets/desklets-basic)

As you can see it would be great to have some more desklets in there, 
like (taken from the whiteboard):

Some ideas: clock, calendar, sysinfo, sticky notes, weather, POP/IMAP 
mail notification, quote of the day ...

> I'm not sure but can anyone upload a new desklet?

AFAIK: yes
(if we are talking about uploading to the gDesklets site and not about 
uploading to the basic desklets).

>  If so    : should we give support to all of them?

Definitively: NO!
We should ONLY give support to the "official" (or basic) desklets.

>  If not so: AFAIK, there is no way to "show" which ones have got support

No yet. But this is a good idea.
(I know: lauri will be *very happy* to include the feature :) )

Right now I am thinking about setting up a desklet-data-package as the 
ones "out there" are crap and we get a lot of questions and bug reports 
because of them.
At least then we could say: "Tested with gDesklets 0.36".

But I am quite not sure about it....
