Ubuntu's new app developer upload process proposal
The Ubuntu folks have run into an interesting problem with their
application upload process: "Despite our best intentions and the Ubuntu App Review Board's epic
efforts, we're currently putting a strain on reviewers (who cannot keep
up with the incoming stream of apps) and providing an unsatisfactory
experience for app authors (who have to endure long delays to be able to
upload their apps).
" In response, they have come up with a detailed proposal
for a new process; comments are sought. "We should not rely on
manual reviews of software before inclusion. Manual reviews have been found
to cause a significant bottleneck in the MyApps queue and they won’t scale
effectively as we grow and open up Ubuntu to thousands of apps.
"
