[Qt-qml] Public place to share QML components?

[Sean V Kelley]

Yeah. My particular interest is on a TV UI 10' away from the viewer who is using a 5 key (up/down/left/right/select) remote. I had heard from some other guys in Nokia (I'm in Intel) that Qt Quick is really being pushed and focused for slates and handsets.

It seems essential to me that a language designed for such rich visual expression should have a visual element to the public library. I would love to be able to browse a catalogue of contributed QML components. Maybe then I wouldn't have to have written that darn slot machine spinner from scratch!
