Hello,
Long time lurker / Cinder enthusiast and first time poster here.
I'm curious if there are plans for an official directory
of blocks as I think such a directory would help folks who are new
to Cinder better understand (and participate in) the ecosystem that
surrounds the framework.
I did a search through the forums and found a couple of
projects out there but not sure if they are still actively maintained.
I've also been chatting with @pizthewiz who's
interested in this as well and we've been thinking about how
to best mine Github accurately for blocks.
Out of sheer curiosity I took a quick stab at this over the
weekend and put together a simple site that:
1. Searches Github for repositories written in C or C++ that
contain the keyword "cinder" in either the
repository's name, description or readme file.
2. Then inspects each of those repositories for the presence
of a cinderblock.xml file (which I understand is required to
qualify as a block)
Apologies if an effort to address this is already underway,
this was really just my being curious to understand what is out there.
The site automatically updates every hour via a cronjob so
recent commits should be reflected on the site.
Cheers,
Stephen
