Re: Rules For Adding Customizations
-----------------------------------

No Zuker, don't take it personally.

There wasn't any rule for Icy Phoenix Customizations, and I think that time has come to write some general guidelines to save our time in supporting and users time in trying to solve problems.

For example if a mod requires 10 minutes to be integrated in phpBB, it may require 2 hours to be integrated properly on Icy Phoenix. If it isn't done properly, and let's suppose than 10 users install it, then we are facing a big problem. The Staff needs then to work to fix the problem, and the users needs to apply the patch when it is released. This is a huge time waste for everybody. It is better work a bit more before releasing the customization and having tested it, making sure to have minimized (we cannot ever assure that the code is bug-free!) the risk of malfunctions.

Now we have a rule, and we should try to do our best to give users the best software, assistance and support they need... while trying to preserve our free time for doing better things than coding... I think you all may agree... :wink:
