Final Report
Final report of the task force is available here: Final Report
Context
Many VIVO community members have developed applications and tools to support their VIVO implementations but these are not organized with the distribution of VIVO or clearly identified from project documentation and websites. Other open source projects have documented guidelines and instructions for both developers contributing software and for adopters. This task force will create a three to five page white paper recommending guidelines for accepting, distributing, and using contributed software within the VIVO community.e.
Objectives
...
recommend a philosophy or motivation statement for the importance of contributed software to the community
identify types of contributions e.g. ingest scripts, documented deploy.properties, Vagrant config, etc
identify other successful communities and their guidelines for contributing.
- outline a process for moving contributed software from a local project to a community supported and developed project
Deliverables
A three to five page white paper recommending guidelines for including contributed software in the VIVO core. The paper will include:
clear recommendations for incorporating contributed applications and tools into the VIVO core project
a glossary of definitions identify core concepts and process for the VIVO software development
- an appendix of examples of existing projects that aren’t part of the VIVO core but could potentially meet the criteria for VIVO contributed software.
