This page centralizes information about the organization of the Xfce Directory website. Edit the page at any time to correct “bad designs” or to add new ideas or $whatever.
Two possibilities of deployments:
The Xfce Directory provides a simple interface to download quality content and minimize hours of search for a nice desktop. Unlike xfce-look.org, it will accept content after selection/decision by the team.
/xfce-xfwm4-themes/trunk/themes
/xfce-gtk-themes/trunk/themes
/$foobar/trunk
…/branches/xfce_4_4
…/branches/xfce-themes = a selection of themes (svn external…)
…/tags/xfce_4_2_3 = follows the xfce release cycle
Each content is tagged, this gives us full possibility on content presentation.
Possible tags:
We could attach a little bit of Javascript to preview a glimpse of a theme on mouse over. Or just a bit of Javascript to display a bigger resolution inside a tooltip.
Several selections (e.g. meta packages) of bundled themes. Idea: add configuration files for the panel, desktop, etc. as to provide different default desktops!
A page for a single content. Useful for permanent link (paste on IRC, …).
A view ala Thunar icon view of all the files from a specific tag/category.
The “Select by tags” form is full javascript featured (always retro-HTML compatible) and lets you filter out the content very quickly.
The Debian packages cloud web interface is lovely.
List of tarballs.
A list of internal and external tutorials.
This page is a form for anonymous users to propose content.
The team members follow the next workflow:
| Name | by default anonymous (save name in cookie) |
| File | select the tarball (must contain a README/AUTHOR/… file so we can contact upstream) |
| Tags | select a bunch of existing tags |
| Upload | Click! |
