Some generic suggestions for improvement

[phax]

Hi guys, a few things that came to my mind and will make life of us easier on a long term perspective:

• Can you please use the GitHub "release" feature and build dedicated release packages, so that old versions can be restored in case of question etc.
• Please assign each version a unique ID (as e.g. "1.0.1") so that people can get a common understanding of the problem, because people tend to not update their validation artefacts
• Please add the test files in the release package, because the test files will most likely also be changing over time
• I like, that the validation artefacts are licensed under Apache 2 license, but the test files are (at least partially - I haven't checked all) missing a license. Instead of marking every file (which would be desirable anyway) you could add a "LICENSE" file on top level of the respository, so the intent is also clear.
• Please elaborate when to use "AUNZ" and when to use "A-NZ" - I'm confused :-)

Thanks, Philip

Hi @phax,

I will be releasing 1.0.0 once the final guidance documents are available. Each release will have its own branch and the latest branch will be merge into master. We will be using semantic versioning.

In regards to the licensing, I will have a chat to the team on what we can do. I understand it's currently not very clear. Let me get back to you.

As for the 'A-NZ' vs 'AUNZ' inconsistency - I will be chatting with the team about this and our plan moving forward. The Australian-New Zealand relationship is commonly referred to as 'A-NZ', however, for technical reasons, we have had to use 'AUNZ' within the specifications. Let me get back to you.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers, Reade

I'll leave this ticket open until the licensing and abbreviation issues has been resolved.

Okay thanks. This means what we currently have here is 0.9 or so?

Hi @phax,

v1.0.1 was released last week. Prior to that, it was 1.0.0.

Cheers, Reade
