Subject: Guidelines for creating a layer
Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2011 09:17:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EBD2E8F.6060400@balister.org> (raw)

Sorry to hack the subject and delete the earlier conversation, but Koen
raises a good point here and I do not want it lost in the earlier
discussion since I among others stopped reading the emails in detail.

Is there a good set of guidelines on the web site (not buried in a git
repo) to guide people making the decision when to create a new layer, as
opposed to contributing to an existing layer?

How do we make sure layers are well thought out and not people taking
the path of least resistance?

Philip

Having worked with layers for quite a while now I go through the following
list before creating one:

Does it need to be a layer? -> no -> send patches to existing layers
	|
	yes
	|
Does it need to be a seperate repo? -> no -> send patches to existing repos
	|
	yes
	|
Is github/gitorious/etc good enough? -> no -> ...
	|
	yes
	|
Create repo + layer

And after a I while re-evaluate it.

regards,

Koen
