The Reviewers are asked to provided a<br /> timely evaluation of the software by compiling and running it on<br /> their machine. If time does not permit them to complete a review,<br /> they are responsible for asking the moderator to select another<br /> reviewer. If the Moderator and Peer Reviewers judge a submission<br /> to be acceptable, the sources will be posted along with the written<br /> comments provided by the Reviewers.
