[sword-devel] Module upload: JapDenmo

[David Haslam]

2 days delay or less I could live with.

But it's more than that since module vlsJoNT was announced and it's still unobtainable via the module manager UI in most front-ends.
Likewise for most if not all module releases since sometime in May 2018.
Hence the sighing "When, oh, when...?"

My interest is in providing speedy feedback on any technical issues I can detect in new/updated modules.
e.g. If I can report any obvious faults in the .conf file, then the modules team can speedily fix them before there are too many complaints from end users.

I should hope that there are others in this mailing list that would like to provide a similar service.

Announcing module releases that users cannot install is akin to the inverse of "crying wolf".

Best regards,

David
