What is the process for getting Addons that were available in 5.1 made available for 5.2 thru the Addon Manager ? When I look at the wiki page 5.2 Addons - Gramps it lists a number of Addons that are not actually available in 5.2 . The first couple I found were: Data Entry Gramplet GetGOV I manual…

Both the Data Entry and GetGov gramplets are available in the 5.2 Addon Manager . But they have been classified as “Expert” audience, not “Everyone”. So you will have to change the filter settings. Choose “All Audiences”

@Nick-Hall Are the classifications for Addons open for discussion? For instance: the Text Import is classified as “Developer” audience. Yet it seems like “Expert” to me. And any Addon with a Prerequisite registered seems like it ought to be Expert audience level too. We also need to discuss how t…

The Audience broadly corresponds to the Use column, and the Status to the Rating column in the Addon list on the wiki. I reduced the number of options to make them easier to use and understand. The classifications are open for discussion. In general, I am happy for developers to choose a suitable…

[image] Nick-Hall: the Rating column I’ve always disliked the Rating system. It is absurd to have to lookup the meaning of a “number of Stars” instead of simply having the Meaning explicitly in the column. [filed 0013173 : Addon List table column headers do not correspond to Addon Manager fi…

[image] Nick-Hall: The Audience broadly corresponds to the Use column, and the Status to the Rating column in the Addon list on the wiki. Agreed that the filters categories correspond to those columns in the Addon List . But I am worried about indicating elevated Audience or Status in the ac…

Thanks. For me, choosing ‘All Audiences’ instead of ‘Everyone’ violates the principle of least astonishment. Might I suggest Everyone be changed to User (or General User)? That would be more consistent with the context of Developer and Expert.

[image] GaryGriffin: Might I suggest Everyone be changed to User (or General User)? That would be more consistent with the context of Developer and Expert. How about “User friendly”? Something to combat the common assumption that if it wasn’t built-in then it isn’t appropriate anyone but powe…

“User Friendly” is the most over used & terrifying phrase in the English language all is dependent on knowledge and experience so if you are an expert it is possibly friendly if you are novice then probably not. If you have a bias in favour of one option over another then it becomes “user friend…

“user friendly” is certainly over used and abused. What suggestion do you have to make basic addons more inviting for users? There is an assumption that they must be “addons” because they are not sanctioned by the project or useful. This is hurting the average user. [Note: A similar case in anothe…

Novice, Intermediate, Advanced Simple, Moderate, Complex Basic, Better, Best These all follow the same principles Novice,Simple,Basic, stable, usable and more or less essential for program use by a first time user. Intermediate, Moderate, Better, for somebody who knows the basics and what the…
