[asciidoc-wg] AsciiDoc Tooling Overview / Awesome list
|
Hi,
at the previous steering group meeting I proposed an AsciiDoc
awesome list to provide a community edited list of tools in the
AsciiDoc ecosystem - see https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
for examples.
As the AsciiDoc WG it allows us to list and promote tools that
support AsciiDoc. These lists are usually maintained on GitHub
repos in the README.
This post is about where to host a Git repo for this, and which
license to choose.
While the AsciiDoc WG has a strong interest in this, I propose to
host it not as an Eclipse project, but as as a simple GitHub repo
unter
https://github.com/asciidoc
Future versions of this list might be rendered as nice HTML on
the asciidoc.org.
Please comment if you think this is possible/advisable.
Something to be discussed in the future: We (as the AsciiDoc WG)
might end up with a list of things that have the name AsciiDoc in
their name, but not necessarily be AsciiDoc TCK compliant (once
there is a language specification).
These lists have usually a very liberal license. A quick survey
revealed mostly licenses like "Creative Commons Zero v1.0
Universal" aka "CC0", others used MIT License.
Some thoughts on this: CC-licenses fit better here, as this is
about documentation. As the AsciiDoc Lang documentation will be
licensed CC-BY-4.0, this would also be an option. Following it to
the letter, it would require everyone copying a link and
one-line-of-text from the Awesomelist to add a link to the
AsciiDoc Awesome list. Using CC-BY-4.0 is tempting to promote the
list, but probably not the spirit of Awesome lists.
I therefore propose:
- to adopt a license of CC0
- no requirement of signing a eclipse contributor's agreement
Again, please comment if you think this is possible/advisable.
Best regards,
Alexander
