Activity Library/Editors
Introduction
ASLO leverages volunteer reviewers/editors to look over pending and nominated add-ons for publication on the site. With the launch of ASLO and the sandbox, aspects of this role have changed significantly.
In ASLO, anyone is considered a reviewer. Users can install activities as soon as the author submits them. We hope that these users will then return to write a review of their experience with the activity, whether it be good or bad.
What's an editor?
Editors have access to the queue of pending and nominated activities, and their main role is to assess the existing reviews and determine whether the activity should be pushed to the public side based on criteria in the policy.
What editor should do?
- check that activity runs on declared Sugar Platforms.
Major sugar environments are:- SP-0.82
- XO-767
- SP-0.84
- Community/Distributions/Magalhães which is based on Mandriva2008.0 and contains old packages
- SoaS-2 or Mandriva2009.1 or openSUSE for environments that fully satisfy SP-0.84
- SP-0.82
