# Criteria for Adding Workers
|
||||
|
||||
a. Don't add workers until users complain about a problem on a platform
|
||||
that doesn't yet have workers or if we anticipate many users will use
|
||||
a platform, we may pre-emptively add an unsupported worker for it.
|
||||
|
||||
b. Prioritize the platforms that seem to have the most users.
|
||||
|
||||
c. When adding workers start by adding workers for the "most common"
|
||||
variant of any distro, then if users later encounter problems with a
|
||||
sub-variant, we can consider adding new workers at that point.
|
||||
Example: add Ubuntu Desktop before Xubuntu, on the assumption the
|
||||
former has a larger population base.
