IMHO _this_ is the problem. currently I don't spend enough time on script review, but there are also not many other people peer-reviewing addons which would help a lot. I also miss users testing new addons and kicking devs to review, it seems all to common for someone to post their addon into our extensions upload section and nothing happens :(, To alleviate this problem we have been giving developers access to `contrib`, where they can develop their script and users can test - so the review process happens when moving from contrib to trunk, which is working OK but we still have a backlog of un-reviewed addons :S. By comparison wiki docs are less of an issue IMHO, to begin with they can have a template and add a paragraph of text explaining what the script does. IMHO contrib scripts dont need to have a wiki page - to lower the barrier of entry a bit especially if devs didnt use a wiki before. To sum up - we need to get better at reviewing work quick - an extension repo is solving a different problem. >> Long story short, IMHO it's just a pre-concept (or in many cases, >> lazyness) stopping you from using the wiki. > exactly! > > NOW how a app central would change that? > > > > Regards > Yousef Harfoush > ba...@msn.com > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Bf-committers mailing list > Bf-committers@blender.org > http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
