LSL Protocol/Restrained Love Open Relay Group/x-tensions Validation Process

Proposed x-tensions should go through the following successive stages:

• Proposal: someone proposes a new feature
• Draft: there is a proof of concept implementation and specification
• Accepted: a vote of board members decided the extension is accepted as an ORG x-tension.
• Ready: a complete test set has been written and approved by 3 board members.
• Bronze: there exists one implementation of the feature in one relay and one compatible controlling device, which both pass the test set.
• Silver: there exists 2 interoberable implementations on each side passing the tests. One implementation either relay side or controller side has to be opensource.
• Gold: there exists 3 tested interoperable implementations both sides. There must exist at least one opensource relay side implementation and one opensource controller side implementation.
• Platinium: 4 tested interoperable implementations both sides. One opensource each side. Further more we require that a fully automated test suite (implemented by opensource scripts) exists.
