Front loading all the forms and blocking developers from even getting started is silly. I’m here 3 day later still waiting for that one tax form that’s stuck in review and I haven’t been able to do anything yet.
It should probably be a tiered system. Right now, there’s 3 different forms you have to fill. One is for identity, the other two for taxes. On the first tier, with no forms, you should still have access to a sandbox where you can develop and test your code, but no one else can use your extension, only you. Next up, once you submit the one identity form, others can use your extension but you can’t make any money. Lastly, once you submit the tax forms, you can also get royalties.
