Topic: Third-party developer widgets published
As many of you know, we've been pretty backlogged lately in processing third-party widgets to get them publicly accessible. While we are setting a more comprehensive system for managing this, we've opted for a temporary solution that will get your widgets out there quickly, but help people understand that these widgets are not "official" and have not been through extensive testing.
We have opened up the widget floodgates and have pushed many of the developer widgets live to the chumby network to a new category called "Widget Laboratory".
We are trying to get your widgets pushed live quickly so when you upload a widget and mark it public, we’ll do a quick sanity test to assure the widget works and abides by our Terms of Use, and add the widget to the live site within 2 business days.
We need your help in ranking and testing the widgets in the "Widget Laboratory" . Please notify us if stuff doesn’t work, and we'll pass your comments on to the author/developer. As these widgets go through formal testing, and based on your rankings and comments, we'll do a more formal promotion and proper categorization.
Thank you for your patience while we continue to improve our Developer Program.
