Hi everyone, I just walked through the experience of becoming a Bodega Partner/Participant. Here is what I noticed (good or bad, in chronological order) until the point where I have to be accepted as a Publisher:
- I wasn't sure if I could use my make.play.live user account as participant account as well, so I just went ahead and created a participant account with the same data as my user account. This resulted in the following message: "A new Make·Play·Live account has been created for you!" And below in red "AccountExists". So which one is it? Has it been created or does it already exist? - The login page asks for a user name, but I don't have one, so I used the email address associated with my account and that worked. Seems like the input hint on the field is just incorrect. - The partner list has three unlabeled action icons on the right which do not have a tooltip (title tag) - The Terms of Service page: - When hovering anywhere over the page, the cursor turns into the link cursor but when I click, nothing happens - the second bullet in the "Definitions" list is empty - "You agree to not upload content, create store," should be "Stores" or "a Store" - I liked the "That wasn't too bad, was it?". It gives the dull task of reading ToS a little more humane - "The Warehouse commits to exclusively use software distributed under a Free software license as defined by the Debian Free Software Guidelines in the operation of the Warehouse. This includes the content server software and the applications the Warehouse hosts or distributes which are used to access the content system." Even though it clearly only relates to the software used to manage and access stuff, when I read it less carefully the first time, it looked to me like the Warehouse would only _host_ Free software as well. Therefore even though legally everything is fine, it might be a good idea to add that proprietary software may be hosted in the Warehouse as assets in order not to scare away people who wish to put proprietary software into their stores. On the other hand, maybe scaring away proprietary software people is a good thing? ;) - creating stores -> creating Stores - The ToS are amazingly short for something involving hosting and even selling content! I wonder why other stores have ToS several times as long as this just for accessing content or providing user-generated content without any payment involved. Unless it turns out at some point that you missed some crucial legalese which bites you in the ass later on, these ToS should be the role model for ToS for any digital store! This is of course only friendly feedback since I am not in any way responsible for Bodega, so do with it as you please ;) More will come as soon as I am accepted as Publisher.
