[Marketing] A catalog of Qt software

[Quim Gil]

Hi, someone asked in the QtonPi mailing list about the possibility to 
have an online catalog to find all the software produced by the hundreds 
of Qt 5 projects. This is something I had in mind as well...

http://wiki.qt-project.org/Software_Catalog

Apps and software available is a key aspect for a technology selection 
nowadays, yet it's not easy to find out what is being developed with Qt.


This would be a catalog of entries maintained by their own developers 
that could host packages organized by OS, form factor and product.

http://apps.formeego.com could be a starting point since it has all the 
basic pieces in place already:

* An online build system that can host different Linux targets and where 
developers can upload sources and build packages.
* Unstable and stable repositories.
* A quality assurance process including automatic and community based 
filters.
* A web frontend allowing the organization of entries by operating system.
* User ratings and comments are enabled too.
* Flexible frontend, allowing a Qt homepage even if the backend is 
capable of hosting non-Qt projects as well.

Interest? Ideas?

Looking at http://wiki.qt-project.org/Marketing I thought that this 
would be something really nice to have during 2012, so I decided to add 
it to the list of marketing priorities. There is no more process around 
this list as of yet: if you disagree or have a better idea please comment.
