The Artemis Workshop is the place to share and find awesome creations.
The Workshop is a continiously evolving feature in which we're hoping to fill the gap between users and content creators.
Everything workshop related happens inside the Artemis desktop application.
To access the workshop, simply click on the Workshop menu entry in the sidebar. From there you'll be taken to the welcome screen where you can navigate to different parts of the workshop.
When you've found something you like you can download the latest release, it'll automatically be installed for you.
At the time of writing you're only able to submit and download profiles. Other kinds of submissions such as device layouts and plugins are planned.
Anyone can add their submissions to the workshop and thereby become a creator. All you have to do is create an account in Artemis and you're good to go!
We're hoping to see many of you add their own unique submissions
We do have some rules for what kind of content is accepted, in short:
You do not need an account to download things from the workshop, only to upload your own submissions.
While we'll try our best to moderate what's on the workshop, we cannot be held accountable for workshop contents.
You are ofcourse always welcome to report innapropriate entries to us.
The workshop is an evolving feature and we've left some things open to be decided based on user feedback and how things turn out over time. However, here are some of the things that are already planned.
One of the first things on the list is the ability to (auto)update the things you've previously downloaded from the workshop.
Most systems are already in place for this. When you upload something to the workshop it's considered a release of that submission. If you then upload a new version (via your library) it's a new release of the same submission.
In the future users will be able to view different versions and update their installed version, either manually or automatically.
We're planning to add support for more kinds of content as we go along.
The idea here is that users can submit new layouts of their devices so that Artemis can (perhaps automatically) download them for other users.
Ideally when uploading a layout you can select which brand and model(s) your layout fits. That way it should be a breeze for new users to get their devices looking good and working well.
Eventually this'll also mean layouts no longer need to be bundled with plugins.
Plugins are a major part of Artemis and we want the workshop to be the main distribution platform for them.
Due to how powerful plugins are - they can basically do anything a locally running program can do - we're waiting with plugins to gain some experience in running the workshop.
Unlike profiles plugins will first go through a review process before they are allowed into the workshop. This is to protect our users and keep things clean.
We have plans to allow you to comment on workshop entries and give them either upvotes and downvotes or some kind of star rating.
Aside from fast installations, the main reason for the workshop to be in the application and not a website is so that we can offer deep integration with the rest of the application.
One use of that is recommending entries to you based on which plugins you are using.
An example: You install a Minecraft integration plugin and Artemis will offer you some of the most popular profiles that make use of that plugin.
