# Criteria

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and assessed on team quality, project uniqueness, and potential impact on the Ola ecosystem. This selection process will be conducted via a vote by Ola core team members and the Ola community.The following aspects will be taken into consideration for evaluating applications:

* _User Experience_ - How seamless is it for contributors to use? Projects that are intended for an end-user (not Infrastructure & Tooling) are required to have a UI.
* _Architecture_ - How robust is the technical architecture? How well is it defined?
* _Functionality_ - How many different things can you do as an end user?
* _Impact_ - Does the tooling or infrastructure provide valuable insights for contributors?
* _Novelty_ - How unique is tooling or infrastructure? Is it differentiated?
