GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 720636
No reviews since some weeks ?
Last modified: 2018-02-01 00:08:47 UTC
I uploaded a fork of the weather-extension (openweather, which uses openweathermap.org). It waits for review for far more than a month now. It looks like no reviews have been made for (at least) this time and the list of the unreviewed extensions grows. Are there any problems with extensions.gnome.org, or do you just don't have time to do the reviews. Some reviews make extensions available for gnome 3.10, but did not make it into the repo (at least not in the reviewed part of it). Today Fedora switched to release 20, which ships with gnome-shell 3.10 and several extensions will just not be usable any more, not really good in my opinion.
Thanks for the "ping" I don't know about the others but I am currently pretty busy (don't have time to work on core stuff either or review patches there) ... I have reviewed and approved a few extensions today. But the queue has over 100 extension so it will take some time until they get reviewed. We need more reviewers.
(In reply to comment #1) > We need more reviewers. I would really like to help, but I'm not very familiar with gnome(-shell) internals. And we are short before next release (this month) with Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/), and because I'm not only developer and one of the forum admins there, but also packager for our own Fedora, Debian and Cent/OS/RedHat packages, I'm quite busy there from time to time (additional to family and work of course). The only thing I could do is test extensions on different versions of gnome-shell (3.6, 3.8 and 3.10 currently) on my Fedora systems (real and vm) and look for crashes and suspicious output in systemlog. I could also look for style-guide issues, but I'm not even sure if I did all correct in my extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/750/openweather/), because it's not reviewed and therefore I did not get any feedback (except from some users). It's the first I ever really worked on and that was just because the older weather-extension has switched to use gweather and is unusable for a many user, because many cities can no longer be found (including mine). The problem is, that new extensions (or forks), like mine, are not seen by other users. The only way to "promote" it, is to link to my github-page in the comments of Neroth's weather-extension, but this is something I really don't like to do (even if I did this already as you can see in the comments of https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/613/weather/).

Hi. I just want to "ping" this once again: There's a growing list of unreviewed extensions.

Even though reviewers are still needed, it seems the current queue is empty, so this is not relevant anymore.
Hello, pending reviews' list is huge since several weeks. A lot of extensions are in waiting queue, including simple updates. Look at one of the most popular, "dash-to-dock", version 62 still isn't available if we don't build it from GitHub directly. If more reviewers are needed I'd be glad to help of course.
