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/asciidocFuture 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
