Re: [asciidoc-wg] AsciiDoc Tooling Overview / Awesome list

Mike,

thanks for asking, I feel that I didn't provide enough context:

The Awesome lists (mind the capital "A") are community-curated lists that for a given Topic list tools and other resources by category. The Awesome logo is a pair of pink glasses.

See for example the Awesome Vue list, that lists lots of tools and resources for the Vue.js _javascript_ frontend framework: https://github.com/vuejs/awesome-vue

There is also an Awesome Awesome list that list all Awesome lists: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome

When compared to the marketplaces there are similarities and differences:

  • For Awesome lists most content is added by the community. For marketplaces, I understand that the projects sign up themselves and agree to some terms and conditions (especially when reading the following text on open-vsx.org "If you are a publisher and your extension has been deactivated, you can reactivate it by signing the publisher agreement and/or adding a license to your extension.")
  • The Awesome lists are categorized (kind of good-old yahoo style) and low-tech (everyone editing one README file with pull requests). A marketplace is backed by a database and a search engine. 
  • The kind of content we would collect could range from a spell checker that supports AsciiDoc, templates written in AsciiDoc, or a static site Generator like Hugo or Antora that support AsciiDoc. While the marketplaces you showed were quite specific (plugins to be installed in one or the other environment), this would be broader and more diverse content.

Best regards,
Alexander

Alexander,

I am not familiar with what you call an "awesome list". However, I am very familiar with the idea of platforms and ecosystems. For other projects within the Eclipse Foundation we manage marketplaces or hosted repositories where value is made available by other parties. See [1] and [2] for examples. Are these examples of what you're talking about?
