phpBB Ext Check - Diskussion bezüglich Prozedur und Reports

[StokerP]

I was more thinking if the EC was something we should keep private?
I havent seen it advertised anywhere. And who knows how much load it puts on your server.

Great tools like this should be advertised if theres no reason NOT to

There's nothing wrong with adding the EC report to the docs folder of an extension, as suggested.

To be honest, years ago I had the feeling that my phpBB Ext Check was perceived as "competition" because GitHub was preferred on phpBB.com. But not everyone can or wants to use GitHub, and EC is an alternative for precisely this group. I hope that EC is no longer seen as "competition" today, but rather as what it was created to be: an alternative.

The other reason why I no longer want to present it on .com, for example, is quite practical: despite help from developers like gn#36, Mike-on-Tour, and others, the entire project is a one-man show, and its maintenance and further development cost me a lot of time and effort. And all of this needs to remain manageable for me; that's also one of the reasons why I'm not making the tool publicly available, because I want to and must ensure that it's only used by seriously interested developers who also possess a minimum level of knowledge. My energy is limited. ^^
