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

[simon.turvey at nokia.com]

Actually I think this is an awesome idea and one that I was talking about with some colleagues just a couple of days ago. An open source repository is one part of this but not the whole story. 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!

+1

Simon.

Something like this?

http://gitorious.org/qt-components

It's an open source project, so you could start by committing patches to
that, I'd guess.
