Hi all,<br>
<br>
Prompted by a recent email to the tech list, I have finally got round to <br>
tidying up the Bazaar. In particular, preventing random users from <br>
accidentally updating established plugins (EPMs) through the Developer <br>
tab on their repositories.<br>
<br>
The main change I have made is to introduce a new user type "Approved <br>
User" that is the same as a regular user but with an added permission so <br>
they can continue to post EPMs to the Bazaar and be put live immediately <br>
rather than going into the review buffer as will now happen for regular <br>
users. I am also looking into enabling other permissions for approved <br>
users, such as being able to retire and edit their own live EPMs. At <br>
the moment my plan is only to make those who are the owners of major <br>
plugins (e.g. IRStats2, RIOXX2, Coversheets, Altmetric, etc.) into <br>
approved users. I am concerned that there would still be nothing to <br>
stop one approved user from submitting to the live archive a new version <br>
of an major plugin that they have never had anything to do with <br>
previously. So keeping the list of approved users small, should reduce <br>
the chances of accidental submission of new versions of major plugins to <br>
the live archive.<br>
<br>
In addition to this change, I have been looking into tidying up stuff <br>
that should not be in the Bazaar repository:<br>
<br>
1. Non-EPM items. I found various article, conference and other types <br>
of item that clearly have no place in the Bazaar. They were not in the <br>
live archive but having unnecessary items sat around is not helpful for <br>
long term maintenance.<br>
<br>
2. Non-activated users. Back in 2018 I think the Bazaar started getting <br>
a lot of new account creations and it was not until Google ReCAPTCHA was <br>
enabled that this was returned from 5-10 new accounts a day back to a <br>
more normal 1-2 new accounts a week. Most of these new accounts were <br>
never activated, (via email confirmation link), so I have been deleting <br>
these 5000+ unactivated user accounts created before the start of 2020. <br>
Part of my motivation for doing this is also for GDPR reasons. So as <br>
not to store unnecessary information about individuals indefinitely.<br>
<br>
3. Bazaar created EPMs. Although it is theoretically possible to create <br>
a proper EPM through the Bazaar's web interface. A lot of items had <br>
been created that were devoid of any useful content. So I have deleted <br>
any items like this that were last modified over a year ago. Like <br>
Non-EPM items, these were not in the live archive but I felt it was a <br>
good idea to tidy this up to help with ongoing maintenance.<br>
<br>
I am not currently planning on making any further changes to the Bazaar <br>
beyond what I have described above. I hope this changes will ensure <br>
that Bazaar plugins are better curated. A while back we added accolades <br>
to plugins to make it easier to determine the quality and ease of use of <br>
a plugin.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
