Thorsten,
Thank you for the explanation.
I did read through the links you provided.
I read all of the content at your links:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Aircraft_rating_systemand
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Piper_PA34-200T_Seneca_III understand now that it is important to not inhibit the GPL project, and to instead allow the GPL project to flourish.
I see too that aircraft can be included into the fgaddon hangar even if they are not complete, and still require much work, even if those who do that work come along much later (even years later) to do that work.
I see also how any person can add improvements to any aircraft in the repository, that is excellent.
I appreciate the rating system, and I use it to decide which aircraft to review/install. The rating system is excellent.
The allowance that anyone can improve an aircraft and submit any improvement back to the community is an excellent allowance.
All of these are excellent.
Yet from your answer, I still understand that anyone may place any aircraft into the official FGAddon hangar without having met any minimum quality standards at all, and without any supervision or approval from any manager of the FG GPL project.
Am I correct?
I am trying to determine whether or not there are any minimum standards for aircraft creators to enter their aircraft into the official fgaddon hangar.
I believe there are no minimum standards for entry of any aircraft into the official fgaddon hangar.
I am hoping to receive a confirmation from you that "there are no minimum standards to add any aircraft into the official fgaddon hangar."
Thorsten thank you again, and I take great interest in your response.
