FreeCAD
[ + ] Panels Styler
@bmateev Hi, I'm the AEC ( Addon Ecosystem Coordinator ) and I'd like to get some things set right with your addon before it gets published.
First of all I was wondering where I'd best contact you, you didn't specify an author / maintainer email in your package manifest, so where can I best reach you?
If you don't want to post your email / handles publicly, I can also send you my info, in case you are on the Discord or the Forum, I can also send you a friend request there.
Some things to note right away:
-
The license you chose is not meant for code. Have a look at https://choosealicense.com/licenses/
Most people choose a GPL license like
LGPLv3-or-laterunless they want their code to be included in FreeCAD directly one day, in which case it would have to be aLGPLv2compatible license. ( Not relevant for most )Note that having your Create Commons license just for the icons / logo in general assets is perfectly fine, in fact that would be the most correct way to do it.
Example: You could have 2 license files in your repo like
- LICENSE-CODE
- LICENSE-ASSETS
-
You forgot the Git Submodules entry
Some things for later ( when I can contact you directly ):
- The addon should use the Python module structure
- Various issues with the package manifest
Hi, this is my personal email but would rather not have it published as a support email.
What are the next steps?
Regards, Bobby Mateev

Sure, no problem.
As you can see GitHub doesn't display your email either.
Please contact me on Discord ( phonedroid ), the Forum https://forum.freecad.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=79133 or my email. ( Let me know if you want my public email )

The forum doesn't have friend requests, friends are just shortcuts to other profiles.
I'll send you a dm.
I got your message but I can't reply. When I try to compose it says: Compose message
