Stéphane and I have preview access to the new interface, and have
started to pull apps out of the MyApps queue when they're FLOSS licensed
and free (zero cost). While MyApps won't have full features to support
our workflow until after the Oneiric release, we can start integrating
with the interface now, to make it less confusing for developers to
figure out where and how to submit their apps.
For this, we'd start pointing all developers at
https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/ for submitting their
application, and modify our process to use this front-end. The immediate
changes I see needed are:
- Update submission instructions to point developers to the web
interface instead of creating a Launchpad ticket.
- Update the metadata instructions
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostReleaseApps/Metadata) to use the MyApps
published screenshots URLs, instead of the tedious
commercial-ppa-uploaders screenshots process.
- Update our voting process so we do voting on a mailing list thread
instead of IRC or a Launchpad ticket (we talked about doing this at UDS
anyway).
- Create a 'staging' PPA for packages under review by the ARB?
Thoughts?
