Description
Can there please be clarification made in the contribution doc to explain the following items:
- Are there specific requirements that a repository contains tags/releases? Just one, or some arbitrary number of tags/releases?
- Do we want to require software being added has been “actively maintained”? What does it mean for a project to be “actively” maintained? Some commits here and there? Responding to issues? Closed PRs?
- Do we require code to exist in version control or just be accessible publicly?
- Do we want 4 months to add but 6-12 months before removal? Can we make that more explicit in the docs?
- What common sense items do we need to make more explicit? How do we make things explicit enough without preventing flexibility?
I have just been helping out a bit more with contributing to this project and gotten confused a couple times. There are good points brought up in issue and PR discussions that is not listed in the contribution doc, sometimes leading to confusion…
I am more than willing to update the docs, just wanted to start the conversation about what goes into the contribution.md
file.
