Contrib Script Reviews/ Moves to Release

---

cursor scripts by seminumerical.

• these scripts status need to be reviewed again
• there are three scripts in total & they have been distributed broken for some time.
• http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=27253
• Proposed recommendation form last meeting:
• move the script out of contrib & back to upload until it is fixed or replaced.
• there is a new cursor script in upload that may replace these scripts also.
• http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=28451
• it will need to be reviewed seperately.

---

Vertex_Slide by ValterVB

• we need to look at this script, it was tagged for review but not reviewed after 2 weeks.
• http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=27561
• ValterVB comment:
  • Campbell have warning me that the big issue is that I change from Edit Mode to Object Mode and viceversa for every Draw, so can be slow with big mesh (I think that work good with less of 100K vertices). So I need to know if this is a locking problem, because I haven't solution for this.

---

General Changes/Fixes

• MichaelW (cowtools) has scripts in release for some time.
• meta-androcto asks he be promoted to a Senior dev.

---

4/ Proposals

• 1/
• Proposal For Assigning scripts Contrib/Upload > Meta-Androcto
• I feel the system of assigning scripts should be:
• When a script is reviewed in Upload, the Reviewer/Senior Dev assigns the script to him/herself.
• When the script gets moved to Contrib, the Script Author is then assigned the script.

---

• 2/
• Proposal to grey out broken scripts by Crouch.

---

• 3/
• Proposal to add "extra-info" to bl_info - Hart.
