• We seem to have an issue again with the link to reviews in tickets.

Tickets: Dénes Székely, Mark Lee

• We often find extension download links to become outdated due to newer releases of the extension. So proposed ways to resolve this before the release of JED 4:
  • To demand a version-neutral link to be added to JED which points to the latest version available
  • To state that if the link in JED does not point to the latest available version this constitutes a reason to have the extension delisted, and if the issue is repeated we can even propose to be banned.
• We need a clear defined path documented about how to deal with listing disputes. In the case of “stolen” or “illegally forked” extensions, we need:
  • to develop a methodology how to handle these situations and make it public,
  • the minimal steps should be to ask for proofs of what happened,
  • then who and how takes the decision on what’s next - like if and how we contact the “offender”, what measures can be taken - from turning down the request to banning the offender OR the original submitter if the claim proves to be false/not well enough sustained by evidence, etc. It is a repeating issue.

  Anyone dealing with a ticket should allow CM to be involved instead of having a judge dread system.

  A clear process for non JED items has not been clarified
• Next JED version
  Next JED version discussions to involve CM directly
