I've gathered you all here today, because I want to talk about our lord and saviour; the SDN.
The SDN is in a pretty horrible place at the moment and I've already seen Alek trying to take on some of the challenges (read; outdated scripts, official OSBot script) which is awesome! The SDN is still flawed though, and here I am directly referincing to the SDN Requests.
I know people who have waited weeks upon weeks getting their SDN requests even looked at and I've got to say; it's honestly really demotivating to have to wait so long to get a script on the SDN - and it's demotivating for all ranks of scripters aswell as new upcoming ones.
I will here propose an idea to the SDN management. This is to be discussed, hated or graced upon.
Proposed idea (and food for thought) |
There will need to be hired new SDN Managers that can manage the SDN requests and update the SDN.
Scripter rank 2 or higher can apply.
A hired SDN manager will only be able to manage and review scripts for scripters that have the same rank or below. (Ex. Scriper Rank 2 can manage scripts from other Scripter 2's, Scripter 1's and upcoming scripters).
Pros:
SDN requests will be handled a lot faster
It will be more motivating to request SDN uploads
Cons:
The quality of scripts may decrease if not reviewed by top-tier scripters/developers.
Inconsistency in scripts if reviewed by more people
I would like to know, what people think of the situation and the proposed idea. This post was mainly written because I see a problem that should be discussed; not so much because I think my idea is the solution. Other solutions and proposals are welcome. Discuss.
