Re: Opening up script authoring

This FAQ suggests a fairly short interval between end of moratorium and allowing new script authors/taggers to register. Any news?

Thanks

There aren't any great news to tell actually. The plan was to be able to provide it about 6 weeks after the moratorium was lifted. However there has been quite a few smaller issues related to the challenge checkers that we found more urgent.

We will start working on this task again during next week. IF everything goes smoothly and isn't harder to implement than we expect, it should takes 1-2 weeks to implement.

Checking back on this topic. Thanks

Found this old topic by accident, so I felt that a late answer might be appropriate.

We did open up the script authoring quite a while ago. At first we only announced it on Facebook, to avoid a storm of new applicants. A few weeks after we updated the FAQ as well. This week, it will be mentioned in a newsletter as well.

Applying for access is done by contacting support. A few questions (and documentation) will then be sent back to check that one understands the system and the guidelines from Geocaching HQ. We have not failed anyone's answers this far, from what I know.
