New Inform 7 extensions site

[bg]

This post brought up some questions for me.

I’d be happy to add Daniel Stelzer’s extension to the new extensions site, however:

How do I confirm that it has the proper license? As far as I know it’s only on Github, not in the public library. Do I need to get permission from the author to add it?

Also, I’m still not totally sure what the implications are of tagging it with an Inform version. I’m still wondering about the answer to this question:

Okay, it sounds like you’re saying that, if an extension on the new site is marked with an Inform build, that means the extension is (in the extension author’s opinion) ready for public use, and supported, but it may or may not meet public library standards. So as of right now, the new site makes no distinction between usable (in the author’s opinion) extensions that are in the public library, and usable (in the author’s opinion) extensions that aren’t in the public library.

And putting an extension on the new site, but not marking an Inform build, means that it’s either not ready for public use, or not supported.

Am I following you correctly?

Do I need to test it myself to verify that it works? Do I need to ask the author whether it’s going to be supported?
