[OOTB-addons] Ways to help the ADDONS committee

[Bindu Wavell]

Hi Axel,

I read through the criteria. Mostly it makes a lot of sense to me. However, there were a few criteria I didn't understand. 

How about if I pull together some questions about these and then once I have clarity, I update the docs? 

In many cases, I was thinking examples of good and bad things might be helpful, so I could put some work into that as well.

In any case, once I have clarity on all of the criteria, I'd be up for running through the process with some addons.

I didn't see the bulk file system import tool in the list. Has that been disqualified for some reason?

First of all, this should help better gauge the effort required for a review (to reduce fear of time commitment for other contributors) as well as provide valuable feedback for refining/validating the criteria catalog itself.

Momentum (or lack thereof) is one of our main challenges at the moment in my point of view. I aim to do one addon review per month but due to my current project, I’ve already failed this in April after the first two reviews.
