Speed up asset review / trusted badge process

Forge

When looking for components in the forge, a big "green flag" is the "trusted" badge.

Right now, from the 7033 components available, only 63 are trusted (<1%).

It seems to me that the community would greatly benefit from more trusted components. From my experience, asset reviews are not being conducted - I have assets awaiting review for more than a year, and I'm sure people have been waiting a lot longer.

I see multiple benefits from OutSystems dedicating more resources to the asset review process:

  • More trustworthy components
  • Feedback loop - developers will learn how to build better components
  • Incentivization - developers will know that getting the trusted badge is a possibility and will produce higher quality assets
  • Etc.


A year!? @Engineering Team. I hope not I just posted my first forge comp and did everything that was needed for the trusted badge :(. It's already been 5 days

But would be nice if they indeed speed this up if that's the case. I also send them a reply that I would like to demo this @OutSystems 

Hi @Sergi,

It's not an easy process to get context, test and review all the criteria to mark a component as trusted, so even if OutSystems speeds up this process I wouldn't expect less than a couple of months. Assets also need some time to mature and be used by the community, so expecting it to be reviewed in 5 days is unrealistic, in my opinion. 


Hi @Tiago Ribeiro, maybe it is unrealistic, but I don't know any better.

Bare with me, haha. It is my first time uploading a forge component. So automatically I expected that 5 workday SLA for at least a reply from OutSystems. I did not necessarily expect for it to be fully assessed and accepted but at least some type of feedback or even something like "We are looking into it" etc

@Tiago Ribeiro my forge comp got approved (yaaay). 
However, I also did have to sent a support case. They managed to this within 5 days, and now I can requested (again) for a trusted badge, but at least my comp is now available in the forge
