Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] GitHub repository naming conventions?

Bill,
Personally, I don't think we have to establish rules for the repo organization.  I think all three (spec, api, and tck) could reside in the same repo.  We do that with MicroProfile and it's been working out just fine.  Maybe that could be the recommendation, but each project could decide for themselves -- one, two, or three repos.

As far as naming, some type of convention would probably be nice to easily determine the contents.  But, if we don't require a certain number of repos, then maybe the only convention is wombat-<something>.

As far as the github pages or wiki content, my take is that should be left up to the project as well.  If the project is going to do more than just README files in their github repos, then I would suggest that they create a separate wombat-pages or wombat-wiki repo to house that type of information (instead of mixing it up with the spec, api, and tck content).

Why do you think they should all be in the same repo?

Clearly the spec, API, and TCK will all be part of the same project, which controls who has permission to do what.  Why would two of them be in one repo and one of them in another repo?

I do believe the spec and api should be in the same repo. The TCKs should be in a separate repo.

github.com/eclipse-ee4j/wombat-spec/{spec, api}
github.com/eclipse-ee4j/wombat-tck

Anyone else have an opinion?

Do we want to establish any conventions or guidelines or (heaven forbid) rules?

I'm not sure putting the spec document in the same repo as the API classes is the best choice, but really I'm much more concerned about having some consistency in where to go for the web site with information about each spec.

I have no strong opinion.

The PMC has made a recommendation that specification documents be represented in existing API repositories. At least a few project teams have expressed a desire to do this. I'm sure that some project teams will make other decisions. So, there will likely be few "wombat-spec" repositories.

As part of the restructuring review, I am assuming that projects will use existing "API" repositories. If a project team wants a separate "spec" repository, they can ask for one.

Have we decided on naming conventions for the GitHub repositories
that are part of specification projects?  For example, will we have

github.com/eclipse-ee4j/wombat-spec
github.com/eclipse-ee4j/wombat-tck
github.com/eclipse-ee4j/wombat-api

(Ignoring the eventual "eclipse-ee4j" -> "jakartaee" renaming.)

Will there be a

github.com/eclipse-ee4j/wombat

repository?  And what would it contain?

Which one of the above repositories would host the GitHub Pages web site?

eclipse-ee4j.github.io/wombat-spec?

Would we expect GitHub Pages web sites for the other repos?  What would
they contain?

And when should we use a GitHub Pages web site vs. a GitHub Wiki?
