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

[henrik.hartz at nokia.com]

Hi Sean and others,

I have created http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS-64 and http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS-63. Note that this is very likely outside the scope of the initial parts of this project, but we're also very open to contributions as this doesn't aim to be a one-way, throw-code-over-the-wall kind of project :)

Might make sense to use this as a shameless plug for our qt-components mailing list? If you want to participate, please subscribe at http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-components. For more detail background info, look at the wiki (http://gitorious.org/qt-components/pages/Home) and the task-tracker system for this project (http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS).

Regards,
Henrik

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!
