After being published the new 4.0.3 release and avoding the few stupid bugs i introduced in 4.0.2, it's time to go and start improving the experience for italian users as much as possible.
1) Forum
I think best is to open a new forum inside "pelisalacarta", so you can organize your communications in separate threads and let users breath a bit. I'd suggest calling it "Italian users", translated to italian of course if you give me the correct spelling.
However if you think it is better to open it more visible, something like "pelisalacarta IT" at the same level as "pelisalacarta" forum, it seems ok for me too.
Ideas?
2) Language
I never have been against any language use here, if you feel better writing in italian it is ok for me.
Obviously i can't help you if you speak italian, but there are great people here to help.
3) Moderators
I have received offers for moderating the new forum from DrZ3r0, zanzibar1982 and dentaku65. If you are ok i will make you three as moderators then. You will get access to a private moderator forum, currently i am the only one
The only thing i ask you is to keep spam out (no mercy), and avoid people to insult others over certain limit. I hate to see when people lose good manners, they can always go to Facebook and say things how they want here.
4) Github
I have uploaded all the code of pelisalacarta 4.0.3 in Python to Github:
https://github.com/tvalacarta/pelisalacarta
It is the first time i manage a project using Github, so please have patience with me if i do something wrong or say things that sound silly. I promise to learn as quick as i can.
Feel free to collaborate, criticize or suggest what you want
5) Channels
You can see that some channels have an xml file with detailed properties:
https://github.com/tvalacarta/pelisalac ... imeflv.xml
Código: Seleccionar todo
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<channel>
<id>animeflv</id>
<name>AnimeFLV</name>
<language>es</language>
<update_url></update_url>
<active>true</active>
<include_in_global_search>true</include_in_global_search>
<version>1</version>
<adult>false</version>
<date>28/08/2015</date>
<changes>First pelisalacarta 4 release</changes>
<categories>
<category>anime</category>
</categories>
</channel>
It is still work in progress, but main idea is to pair each channel with an xml file like this to make it capable of describe where to search for updates, what categories can be classified, etc. This way when you drop the two files (animeflv.py and animeflv.xml in this case) the channel will appear on pelisalacarta without editing anything.
You can expect more advances on this in next versions.
Firstly, my infinite thanks
Then, my suggestions:
For FORUM:
at the same level as "pelisalacarta", named something like "For Italian Users",
"Sezione in Italiano", or "Per Utenti Italiani".
For LANGUAGE:
Infact, nobody said it is mandatory to write in english, but as the almighty robalo told me once
it is easier for non-italian developers help the cause if we use english or spanish.
We began talking in italian at a certain poin in this thread, but when robalo told me that
I edited back my posts in english to have support. And he did support. A lot.
For MODERATORS:
Count me in, if you can pardon the fact that I'm from Naples myself and might lack of manners "in primis"
No mercy guaranteed.
For GitHub:
I can live with it, thank you for such effort;
I understand the amount of work you'll have to manage, and being
myself new @github too I understand the problems.
For CHANNELS:
Let me understand: if a channel source is on a github repo,
would it be possible to link "where to look for updates" in its .xml?
Please note that on github you can not directly download .py files, so the "updater"
should open channel page on repo and "scrape" for the channel code.
to thank you all once a time for the big effort! I look forward to the Italian section, great idea!
