Hi everyone,
You might or might have not been following the recent discussions about
the add-ons server on the forums. It's full of world-saving ideas and high
philosophy thus it's not really leading anywhere, but nonetheless it
reveals the wide discontent with the current state of things on the server
(which wasn't really a secret anyways, but meh).
I think there are a few simple actions we can and should take to improve
the situation:
1) Extend the message shown before uploading to actually list all the
publishing rules instead of just the GPL notice
2) In the meantime, enforce those rules, with special regards to removing
broken stuff (I volunteer to do the work, if the site admins don't want to
get yet another area of responsibility)
3) There has been some impressive user efforts to track UMC content
quality (see [1] and [2]), we could provide some publicity to those with a
tip on the main screen

one's still its in infancy, but looks promising)
Cheers,
