==
Current Focus ==
- Debian/Trisquel import tool
- Improvements to Form:Entry
- Have each page be a nicely formatted printable flyer.
- Promote FSD Collections
Existing Features
Proposed Features
- Import IceCat extensions using a scraper
- See FSD:Features/Properties for new fields/properties that have
been proposed.
Below are ideas for how we can improve the FSD in other ways. If you'd like to help, get in touch! We can point you in the right direction so you can start adding to the directory.
free distros of GNU/Linux.
- RSS feeds of
developer blogs for each program in the directory
for many of the directory items, including screenshots, howtos,
scripts, config files, etc., and a zip file containing the project file(s) that were used with the relevant program(s).
- Favorites / “I use
this” button
- Internationalization of the Directory -- translations of entries.
- Brief description (one short sentence) in the list of categories (or
make a separate list if needed)
- Fix the Entry templates so that instead of querying semantic values it
uses the Template values. We can store the template values as arrays or other data structures we already have available to us.
- Organize packages implemented in programming languages, working with
them, or extended in them: we currently have “Computer languages” single
line field, programming language categories and prerequisites: it's not obvious when editing which field is used for which use.
- Add a tab with information useful for building or developing a
package.
- Use short descriptions for all software listings: the listings should
remain compact. This allows us to use wikicode to a greater extent in full descriptions, without “polluting” the listings.
- Add optional screenshots, maybe from [http://screenshots.debian.net/
screenshots.debian.net].
- Improve semantic ontology/RDF representation by
[https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Import_vocabulary importing or
defining new vocabularies] * Perhaps look into DOAP or
authority control system] to make software entries uniquely identifiable
and easy for machines to process it enabling wikidata integration
- Import resources from awesome-gamedev
and other aggregates
