New (development) subforums each type of binary addons that Kodi now support?

Can I suggest that each type of binary addons that Kodi support gets its own development sub-forum here on the kodi.tv community forums?

Under the “Add-ons” forum there is already a few subforums for some of the binary addon types that Kodi supports, namely: “PVR”, “Audio DSP”, as well as “Screensavers and Visualisations” addons:

http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=26

If you don’t mind I would like to recommend that Team-Kodi also add separate (developer) subforum for the newer type of binary addons that Kodi now support (in at least Kodi master / nightlies):

https://github.com/xbmc/repo-binary-addons

As far as I know kodi.tv forum is today missing development subforum for:

  • VFS (Virtual File System) addons
  • Codecs (Audio/Video Decoders and Encoders) addons
  • Input Stream (Protocols, DRM, and Crypto) addons
  • Peripheral (Joystick and Gamepads) addons

New organizations on GitHub for kodi-adsp, kodi-vfs, kodi-codecs, and more?

Can I suggest some reorganizations of source code repositories for different types of binary addons?


Team-Kodi currently in addition have separate logical organizations on GitHub for a few different binary addon types, like kodi-pvr, kodi-game, and kodi-web:

https://github.com/kodi-pvr
https://github.com/kodi-game
https://github.com/kodi-web

But looks like Team-Kodi is missing its own logical organization on GitHub for other types of binary addons (which at least Kodi master / nightlies also support today).

https://github.com/xbmc/repo-binary-addons

As you can see there on repo-binary-addons repository are also links to binary addons for "audiodecoder", "audioencoder", "inputstream", "peripheral", "screensaver" and "visualization". For which the source code is linked to but is non-the-less spread across multiple repos by different individuals instead of in an logical organizations on GitHub administrated by Team-Kodi.


In addition Kodi also recently have also support for ADSP (Audio Digital Signal Processing) addons and VFS (Virtual File System) of which most repos are not yet linked from repo-binary-addons, and where the addon source code for those are currently hosted mostly in notspiff and AchimTuran own personal repositories on GitHub:

https://github.com/notspiff?utf8=%E2%9C%...ries&q=vfs
https://github.com/AchimTuran?utf8=%E2%9...ies&q=adsp
https://github.com/AchimTuran/kodi-adsp-addons-repo-dev


The consequence if notspiff, AchimTuran, or any other individual developer who currently host one or more binary addon should decide to remove it or even delete their GitHub account would be bad. If you do not like this idea and instead prefer to keep all source code spread across multiple repos by different individuals then at the very least it might be a good idea to for Team-Kodi to mirror those repositories in forks somewhere so that you have a backup of the source code of all binary addons just in case.


If you don't mind the suggestion I would like to recommend that Team-Kodi consolidate all binary under a new organization on GitHub (a new organization called example; "kodi-binary-addons-code").

One other perhaps better alternative could be to create multiple new logical organizations on GitHub each type of binary addon, such as Team-Kodi already have today for kodi-pvr, kodi-game, and kodi-web.

Anyway, missing is consolidating the source code for binary addon which could use logical organization on GitHub, such in for example this:

  • kodi-dsp-addons = Consolidate all "adsp" addons here and in the future maybe also "vdsp" addons if Kodi ever gets those too?
  • kodi-codecs-stream-addons = Consolidate all "audiodecoder" + "audioencoder" + "inputstream" + "vfs" addons here?
  • kodi-peripherals-addons = Consolidate all "peripheral" addons here?
  • kodi-scr-vis-addons = Consolidate all "screensaver" and "visualization" addons here?
