OpenWeather Refined
How It Came About
I used to use Jason Oickle’s OpenWeather shell extension however when GNOME 45 was released, it no longer worked. Kenneth Topp had become the new maintainer and added support for GNOME 45, however he never updated it from there and it still was not on the primary website for GNOME Shell Extensions. Since the project was licensed as GPL 3.0 or later, I forked the project and am maintaining it today.

Contributing
Everyone is welcome to contribute! You can contribute code, or translations via pull requests.
Run make help for help on make targets and scripts useful for testing.
Translating
Translations are super helpful because once I forked this extension I have made a lot of UI additions, and I only speak English!
Translations can be made by editing the language’s file ./po/*.po.
Edit the msgstr field to the translation for the English in msgid.
