CurseGaming provide addon managers for a variety of game addons<br>
(Warcraft, Minecraft, etc), and the ability to define "AddOn Packs" is<br>
one of the ways they make it useful to have an account on the site<br>
even if you don't publish any addons of your own. Even if you don't<br>
make them public, you can still use them to sync your addon sets<br>
between different machines.<br>
<br>
In the context of Python, where I can see this kind of thing being<br>
potentially useful is for folks to manage package sets that aren't<br>
necessarily coupled to any specific project, but match the way they<br>
*personally* work.<br>
<br>
- "These are the packages I like to have installed to --user"<br>
- "These are the packages I use to start a CLI app"<br>
- "These are the packages I use to start a web app"<br>
- etc...</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Does a requirements.txt in a {git,} repo solve for this already?</div><div><br></div><div>A Collection contains (hasPart) CreativeWorks</div><div><br></div><div>- <a href="https://schema.org/Collection">https://schema.org/Collection</a></div><div>- <a href="https://schema.org/hasPart">https://schema.org/hasPart</a></div><div><br></div><div>RDFa and JSONLD representations do parse as ordered lists.</div><div><br></div><div>SoftwarePackageCollection</div><div>SoftwareApplicationCollection</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

It also provides a way for people to vote on projects that's a little<br>
more meaningful than stars - projects that appear in a lot of personal<br>
stack definitions are likely to be generally valuable (the closest<br>
equivalent to that today is mining code repositories like GitHub for<br>
requirements.txt files and seeing what people are using that way).</blockquote><div><br></div><div><a href="https://schema.org/InteractionCounter">https://schema.org/InteractionCounter</a> > <a href="https://schema.org/UserLikes">https://schema.org/UserLikes</a></div><div><br></div><div>D: CreativeWork</div><div>- <a href="https://schema.org/interactionCount">https://schema.org/interactionCount</a> is now</div><div>- <a href="https://schema.org/interactionStatistic">https://schema.org/interactionStatistic</a></div><div><br></div><div>(These are write-heavy features: they would change the database load of Warehouse)</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

So yeah, if folks interested in this were to add it to Warehouse (and<br>
hence <a href="http://pypi.org" target="_blank">pypi.org</a>), I think it would definitely be a valuable enhancement<br>
to the overall ecosystem. "What needs to be implemented in order to be<br>
able to shut down the legacy service at <a href="http://pypi.python.org" target="_blank">pypi.python.org</a>?" is the<br>
*PSF's* focus, but that doesn't mean it needs to be everyone's focus.<br>
<br>
