Description Erland Isaksson 2008-11-18 23:00:55 UTC

It should be possible to specify "authors" in the repository xml used by the Extension Downloader. The reason is that this might be an important decision for users when deciding if they dare to install a new plugin. Besides this it is also nice to show some credits to the third party developers that has developed the plugin.

The authors should at least be shown in the plugin list in the Extension Downloader tab in the SqueezeCenter web interface.

It might be suitable to allow a optional e-mail address to be specified which can be used to reach the developer/author.

I'm happy to look at this once we have had some conversation about a central repo.
It seems reasonble to me - I was originally expecting the link url to include this, but I see now that we probably want to let people know who authored plugins.

I think there is a related issue of what order we show plugins in - at presen its sorted by name, but should it be by repo or by author.
