Add guidance for selecting packages and dependencies #7

Closed irisfaraway closed 5 years ago

This doesn't go into the details of specific packages you should be using (we'll get to that later) but does cover the general things you should consider when introducing a new dependency into your project.

I like this guidance.

Are there any areas where we can be more specific or explicit, getting more into standards territory?

Like "If a package has not been maintained for over 12 months then don't use it"?

I did add a comment to this, but it's something that can be dealt with in a subsequent PR. So in this case I'm saying I'm happy for it to be merged 😁
