| + | #;Regular: | ||

| + | #;DCS Custom: | ||

| + | |Please review with the goal of adding info to the What does it do? column. That would be helpful to understand the function or utility of the extension -- especially as seen from the user perspective. Please note whichever role is involved: '''regular-user''', '''talk-editor''', '''client-admin''', or '''sysop'''.}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | The ultimate goal is two-fold: not only understand 'What does it do?', but also understand related questions like: | ||
| + | * "How critical is it? (Used all the time / occasionally, but still essential / never)" | ||
| + | * "Does it need work? (known bugs or missing functionality)" | ||
| + | * "Can or should this extension be replaced (with a more widely supported "regular" extension) to improve maintainability, features, security and lower cost? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Of course some features or functions are not really "user-centric" but might provide security or other features important to stakeholders like "Owner" or "Developer". For example: The DcsSkin provides a look and feel that is consistent with the company brand and makes the user experience more seamless while navigating between Website / Rails App / Wiki. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I'm going to consolidate the inventory into one table, and probably separate out the lines of code info, but you can add/edit comments at any time. | ||
