Libraries back up, restoration begins
Wednesday, November 26, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
The libraries are back up. So here's where we're at:
We're going to ship the archive to California to be installed but that will take some time to do.
In the meantime, everyone who uploaded a skin after October 1 will be receiving an email letting them know how to quick update them. Authors who resubmit their post-October 1 skins will automatically have their skin date updated as if they were new (our way of thanking authors for doing them).
Also, anyone with Apprentice access or higher can also help authors and the community out by submitting missing skins too (screenshot will still be needed). Here's how you do that: Go to the file library and you will see which skins are missing by the special missing skin thumbnail. There will be a [Help Update] link there. We'll be keeping track of who helps the most and sending out T-shirts for Christmas to some of the top helpers as a token of our and the community's appreciation. Note: Do NOT try to submit missing skins using the usual "upload" mechanism. Do it from the Help Update system or from the link you (as an author) received in email.
By working together, we may actually be able to have reasonably up to date libraries by Thanksgiving! 
Thank you for all your help! Have fun!

Judge:
The initial restore will replace any non-author updated skins from October 1 or earlier. Right now, anything from October 1 on is going to take awhile to be restored.
But yea, we are keeping track of whether an update is being done by the original author or by a helpful user. When the author updates the skin, those will stay. When done by a helpful user, if the skin is in the archive, it'll be overwritten by what is in that archive.

Maybe that should have been made a little more clearer!
