Plugin Moderators

Due to the large volume of DMS plugins these days, it's a huge burden to maintain and review the quality of plugins as well as the influx of additions to the registry.

Plugin moderators have the ability to:

1. Approve and merge pull requests
2. Label plugins as unmaintained, deprecated, broken, or reviewed

Reviewed plugins get higher sort priority and are more visible to users on the registry.

To become a plugin moderator

Preferably you:

• Be active on niri discord or niri's matrix server
• Have an active history on github participating by contributing code, engaging in issues or other discussions.
• Of course have knowledge of using github
• Active DMS contributors (plugins, code contributions, translations) are preferred

Etiquette (Reviewing Plugins)

You cannot be the author of a plugin and also mark it as reviewed. The bot will block self-reviews.

If you mark a plugin as /reviewed that means you have used, tested, and evaluated a plugin for:

• Manifest accuracy (name, description, screenshot, etc - accurate)
• Conventional (using DMS established patterns, widgets, services, etc.)
  • e.g. a plugin doesnt respond to theme changes because it's hardcoding colors, that would not be something we want to curate
• Functionality tested and confirmed working as expected
