Hi all,
I have a suggestion for a new script and would like to get your feedback.
Name: MOAS - Mother of all scripts 
Purpose: easy access to WME scripts
- A central (one page?) entry point where map editors can view/search for scripts by popularity, relevancy, author etc.
- New editors can quickly get most popular/useful scripts.
- Encourage users to rate and send feedback to exiting scripts.
and more…
How to achieve:
Get scripts metadata from scripts repository such as greasyfork
I’ve created a POC of a process which runs once a day, reads a list of scripts and generates a single metadata file.
“list of scripts” means that each script data includes:
- Its “greasyfork name”
- A link to its forum thread
- Author’s Waze name
- May include supported languages list, supported Waze environments (row/usa/il) and other useful data
“a single metadata file” is a JSON file which includes the above data + data retrieved from greasyfork for each script on the list.
Currently the POC’s list of scripts holds 6 scripts I’ve selected randomly. Every community member with minimal knowledge of GitHub should be able to add scripts easily.
The list is maintained here you may try adding scripts via PR.
The result metadata is generated here or as a row here.
What do I need to proceed?
Most important: your feedback
- Is there a similar tool or other reason not to invest in this direction?
- Are there any other WME scripts repositories which expose similar data? if there are, I’ll need to see how their data could be merged with the one provided by greasyfork.
- Any other ideas that will contribute to the POC
Code contribution: - Is there anyone who is willing to contribute to the UX/UI, areas where I lack knowledge?
Thanks in advanced,
Gadi
