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:

1. A website directory.xfce.org
   • Adapt a CMS
   • Write plugins
2. A namespace inside the wiki e.g. http://wiki.xfce.org/directory/…
   • To manage a team we can set up write access to the directory namespace
   • Write plugins

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:

• By category: xfwm4, gtk, xfce-selection, …
• By color: dark, blue, …
• Special: $meta-package, by-$member, user-contributed (anonymous), …

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 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.
