this is _really_ good news from my point of view. Thanks for taking action! > ownCloud versions: > [...] Currently it is only possible to select one ownCloud version.

So that is not some future problem "once ownCloud get's there". > Approval workflow: Clearly makes sense, however: Since this in effect means censorship (not meant in a bad way here) it appears to be very important to have a well defined, public catalog of aspects that apps must be conform with. Otherwise such a revision process might be regarded as arbitrariness. App developers must know about these rules beforehand. This because that review process will almost certainly not only be used to block apps published to spread backdoors, but also to control general quality: security aspects like CSRF & XSS, desctructive behaviour towards the installation or other apps, missuse of features or gaps and so on. -- Christian Reiner (arkascha) [ [email protected] ] _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
