Unofficially opening up access for more script writers

Quote

Interested in creating challenge checker?

We have recently been allowing access to a very few new challenge checker developers. This has been to some of those that has asked us even though the system was officially closed.

If you have asked us and not gotten an answer yet, that does not mean that it's a no. It's more of the fact that we have almost 200 unhandled support tickets and that we might have missed yours. We will find it, at some point in time, but feel free to ask us again. Preferably with a reply on the email you have received referencing the ticket number.

Since we have added permissions to a few users lately there is no reason to now allow a few more. If you are interested, contact our support and ask for access. Don't forget your geocaching alias.

It will definitely increase your chances if you tell us a bit of yourself. More precisely about your experience in programming. Yes, skills within programming is required. The sandbox is using Lua.

If you are interested to see how scripts are created you can view the source code of any challenge checker script there is (except a handful that has been written in PHP).

When asking for permissions you shall expect to get a smaller code test back. It requires you to read our documentation, understanding our challenge checker system and terminology, and the current challenge guidelines. All relevant links will be provided with the code test.
