How we review

The community projects we list are other people's work. This is how one gets listed, what its status means and how we check it again.

How an entry gets listed

Every listing starts as a proposal. A proposal stays inside MindLink: it is not shown on any page of this site, in its sitemap or in any data the site publishes.

Nothing is listed without our founder's approval, and each listing records the day it was approved.

Each listing is pinned to one commit. At that commit we record the license, who the project is for, what it works with, whether it runs code and whether it needs secrets such as API keys.

What each status means

Each listing has one status, with the day it was set and the reason.

Using: MindLink uses it in its own work.
Tested: MindLink has run it at the pinned commit.
Watching: MindLink is following it but has not run it.
Not vetted: Listed for reference only. MindLink has not tested or run it. Check it yourself before you use it.

How we check again

A re-check reads the project again, pins the commit it read and checks the license at that commit. The checked date on a listing is the day of its last check.

A status changes only with a new dated reason. Listings, re-checks and status changes are all dated in the changes log.
