Re: [IBMiOSS] Collaboration discussion -- OPENSOURCE

*>So the advantage of using a "repo" instead of a wiki is that you receive
a notification when the repo is updated. Is that it?*

More that the fork/pull approach allows for receiving submissions from the
community and then the repo owner could curate and apply discretion.

Also, people can use their existing GitHub profiles (one less profile) and
for those that don't have one it will encourage them to create one. And it
will cause people the try the fork/pull process (essential to being a
community contributor).

Your call though.

Formatting would be key. I'll poke around as I get time and see what
else is out there. I'll also start a dashboard repo.

Just checked the repo, looks good. Maybe start another repo for the
dashboard so ideas can be fleshed out? Not sure how involved I can be in
such an effort but I will certainly try.

Kevin Adler, do you have a recommendation on format? Or should we just
follow Rust's lead with something like the following?

Done (I think...you are the Github guru....)

By "dash board" I am thinking a bit more broadly. There are multiple
sources of IBM i OSS info so what I envision (and I am just*thinking*
about it) is some that can aggregate across media sources. Still not
sure what I have in mind exactly and not sure exactly how to pull it off
but what I'd like is something*like* Google but carefully curated and
moderated so that all the extraneous OSS noise can filtered. Again, it
is just an idea banging around against all the other ideas in my
head......

Your reference to the tn5250j feed is nice though. I want that, plus
stuff from, like, 15 other sites......nicely formatted please (yeah,
right.....)

You'll need to create a new repo named "news" that can be forked.

The dashboard can display commits from the news repo feed. For example:

Thumbs up on the COMMON github repo. Do you want us to start using it

for
news aggregation like Kevin suggested?
