[Request] Sourcecode for Silica core components
Hello Jolla,
it would be very nice if you could publish the sourcecode of the core Silica components. It would be a good start and would show a good faith to the developer community.
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.

After consultation with Jolla, tbr imported all BSD licensed Silica source code into this Github repository:
https://github.com/dm8tbr/sailfishsilica-qt5
Very handy for reference! :)

Most of the Silica QML is open sourced in the emulator environment, with BSD license, just no public repository for the QML components yet.

Sfiet_Konstantin ( 2013-12-30 16:31:05 +0200 )editIn an ideal world this is how opensource would be working, but if you look at google for example opensource can also be quite unidirectional. Of course this isn't a good way but it would most certainly be a good start and definitely strengthen the trust in the sailfish operating system.
djselbeck ( 2013-12-30 16:36:54 +0200 )editI do not see why trust comes up so often. Why would I need a source code? Is something wrong with Silica? If yes, then tell it to the people who works on it. Not everything needs a change. Just my 2 cents.
Macilaci457 ( 2013-12-30 18:20:16 +0200 )editMaybe you don't care but there are people who do. I can say for me that I hate to develop for an platform which depends on some company alone. It just demotivates me to work for it. If it is open and can exists without a company I'm just more pleased. There is nothing wrong with Silica.
