Information on what a maintainer is and why they are important to the os db.

Maintainers are privileged users who have the ability to administrate operating systems and versions. Maintainers typically use the
|
|
operating systems and versions they maintain on a weekely or monthly basis and test them with each new version of QEMU that is
|
|
released. They also respond to forum posts for their applications/versions and review and process test results and
|
|
screenshots that users submit. Please see the <a href="./?sTopic=maintainer_guidelines" style="cursor: help">maintainer's guidelines</a>
|
|
for more information on the kinds of things a maintainer has stewardship over.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Maintainers are crucial to the usefulness of the OS DB as they ensure that information is kept up-to-date. With the large
|
|
number of applications and versions present in the OS DB today it would be a difficult task for the small number of OS DB
|
|
admins to try to perform this task.
|
|
<p>
|
|
See the OS DB <a href="./?sTopic=appdb_faq" style="cursor: help">FAQ</a> for the difference between a maintainer and a super
|
|
maintainer.
