======= The aLobby development process =======

====== Description =====

  - A requirement, idea or an error is discovered in the aLobby.
  - This is passed on to the aLobby developers via the [[https://www.siedler3.net|Forum]].
  - They develop an adaptation of the aLobby source code based on the requirement.
  - This adaptation is made available as a beta version to voluntary testers.
  - If the testers still find a problem, the developers will adapt it accordingly.
  - If everything is okay from the tester's point of view, a new release of the aLobby is published.

====== Notes ====

The process described above can take between a few days, weeks or even months depending on the availability of developers.

Besides the expression of concrete requirements or ideas from the community, the community team also has a list of topics that are being worked on. This includes the adaptation of the aLobby to the current technical state of the art to keep it running on new systems.
