To add some more food for thought to the certification processes.
The primary focus is now on app being released, But we also need to take a look at the sustainable quality and usability of an app, aka maintenance…
How can we measure, check and qualify the level of maintenance on a app, even in NethForge, so level 1 and 2? Even level 1 apps deserve a status in this respect.
How do we cope with the maintenance of a (certified) app, so everything inside the containers that make the app(s) work and all (security/maintenance/version) updates on all aspects/parts?
Keywords: Maintained, orphaned (not as in repo not available, but dev no longer updating it), EOL, Fake, not trustworthy, Trojan/malware, defunc etc.
Regarding app and certification maintenance, we cannot fully address this in the current release. It’s a complex issue that will require further analysis and work in the upcoming project milestones.
