Submitted a plugin and haven't heard back

Hi,

I submitted a new plugin https://moodle.org/plugins/block_anderspink quite a few weeks ago and it still says "Waiting for approval". I haven't had any messages apart from a bot saying about some code validation issues.

Is there someone I can contact about what the state of my block is?

Do the code formatting issues mean it's automatically blocked from being approved? Or should I continue to wait for the status to change or to receive a message from a reviewer?

Thank you!

Jake

Hi, does anyone know who I would talk to about my plugin being stuck in "Waiting for approval" - it's been many weeks now.. 

Cheers

I believe Marina (or one of the other HQ developers) commented on a similar query not long ago that they have all been entirely tied up with the Moodle3.2 release over the last couple of weeks.

Worth asking (as you have), but probably a little more patience may be the answer given the proximity of the 3.2 release and the workload for HQ around the testing and release processes smile

Hope your plugin gets approved soon.

I second Richards comments.  The good news is that the plugins do get looked at by a proper clever* human being and once it is in the database, future updates are straightforward.

Hi Jake. I am sorry for the reviews taking so long. Your plugin is currently #7 in the queue of plugins waiting for the initial approval review. There are plugins queuing for much longer than yours mixed We generally check them in FIFO order and we will eventually get to them all. Thank you for the patience.

No problem at all, I'm happy waiting for as long as it takes. I was just worried I'd done something wrong as I hadn't heard anything!
