New tool on the web site : locking (Authors that used collaboration tools before are already accustomed to it).
Using this tool is recommanded
You can click on a small button, for each script, on
the scripts page. You do it to say "I will work on it now, even if I am not the original author."
Technically, it will change nothing, apart showing a nice glowing button instead. Click again to switch it off (It'll also switch off automatically after 7 days).
Also, any script will be automatically anonymously locked for 2 hours after publication (for oversights)
The goals are :
- Avoiding modification conflicts, 2 writers changing the same thing at the same time, erasing each other when publishing
- Generate interest of future users
For now, it is anonymous (it is not anonymous inside the database, so others can't switch off your buttons).
