Features / Notify Admin when a new member joins
« on September 30th, 2011, 11:09 PM »
Would you guys consider changing this to user preference?
I ask because I hate getting these with a passion but but 1 of my admins actually deals with new members so he wants to be notified. I'm not sure why this is an all or none deal so I think changing it so that only those who request to be notified will be notified would be a good thing.

Meh... go for SVN and let the licenses speak to what others can/can't do with your code.

Since we're polling again I'd rather go for Wedgets... I kinda like Wedgelets also but I'm associating that with hacks in my head for some reason.

I probably should have been a little clearer but as live pointed I was talking about the attachment to the post.
I prefer the skewed version.

Plugins / Re: Mods, support and so on
« on September 6th, 2011, 03:00 AM »As for the "paid vs free" issue, if you don't want to deal with the hassle of handling payments and the issues that arise from that (and really, who would?) then might I suggest letting those modders that want to link to their own site be able to have a placeholder in the mods section here to link back to? It would still keep all of the available mods in one, central location, and the modders are free to handle payment and support as they wish. They are able to do their own thing, but not have to worry about being left out cold simply because they are not listed on the Wedge.org mod site.

Indeed I thought WD to have it's own site as SD does being such a niche mod.Quote I had a feeling this would be considered ;D. A mod club would work fairly well I think.
(heck, arantormods.com might actually reopen then!)

I get the rest of your points as well, wish there was more I could offer in terms of suggestions. Safest bet is to revisit the idea of a marketplace once the add-ons start to roll in[1].

I think the free mods/add-ons should be hosted here... paid stuff hosted by their authors elsewhere[1] unless some kinda market place is created to host the paid stuff[2].
The reason I'm for vetting is simply that I'm the kind of user that would not be able to tell if there are any security issues, I can just check whether or not it does what it says its supposed to do. There was mention before of a rating system for opposed to vetting them. The downside I see to that is some people may give a positive rating because they like the concept of the add-on and possibly negative rating for a bunch of stupid reasons unrelated to whether the thing works etc.
Support should be handled by the authors as they see fit. However if an add-on proves not do what it claims to do it should be removed. I like the idea of having the authors give the ok to the "team" to update them in the event the author has decided to drop development/support and/or has moved on to other things; the downside to that could be authors just creating add-ons then leaving them up to the "team". Regardless I think all add-ons should have a license.
While I agree a single topic for support can be limiting especially as the add-on evolves, especially if it is a rather popular one with 100's of pages of support... I cant think of a better solution other than using WedgeDesk ;).

Enable shorthand date - I've never changed it from default and have had a user ask about it either.
Members per page in member list - never changed this either
Show online/offline - I agree with you there, besides unless a user chooses to be hidden they're shown in who is online anyway. I agree with on by default or even on permanently.
Disable administration security - I agree here as well, though it was nice to have the setting immediately available to be disabled on localhost.
Enable reporting of personal messages - I agree with this as well, having in on by default or even permanently on reduces the chance of a user posting the PM public. I had this problem when I didnt know I had to specifically turn that on... a user was being harassed and didnt have athe option to report the PM so the next best this was to post them publicly.
In short +1 to all
