Configure org level topic standards

simcof commented 4 years ago

It is currently difficult for the public and OpenMined community members to explore and discover the 50+ repositories that this organisation houses. This issues proposes to apply a standard to applying topics for OpenMined repos.

The benefits are:

Applying standardized topics to each repo will enable simple navigation from the topics panel on www.github.com/OpenMined.
Allows creating topic based views for dashboards related to overall organisation contributions
Provides a simpler engagement channel for community members looking for something to work on

Terminology

Topic - A tag applied at the repository level that provides a brief description of a related subject

Repository name (also "repo name") - This is the literal name of the GitHub repository

The Convention

Each repository will have the following topics applied:

Capability (or capabilities) - Minimum of one core OpenMined capability. Some repos will apply to more than one capability
Languages / Frameworks - Versioning should not included. This should generally only include one or two (e.g. Python and TensorFlow is fine, no need to include Numpy, Pandas etc...). The non-technical repos should include descriptive terms like "templates", "graphics" etc...
Related Products - Once OpenMined's updated Product Roadmap is published, any related products need to be included as topics
Repo owners discretion - The repo owner may add additional topics that apply to the repos.

Capabilities

cryptography
design
differential-privacy
federated-learning
identity
mobile
natural-language-processing
private-set-intersection
pygrid
secure-multiparty-compute

writing

Languages / Tools / Frameworks

Products

To be completed once road map is released

What does the syft capability label indicate?

Nolski commented 4 years ago

I'm not really sure what sort of capability labels something like Threepio would have. Its main function is allowing for greater interoperability between various frameworks so perhaps something like interoperability would be a useful capability label to have?

@Nolski translation maybe too?

Overall I generally like this list @simcof.

I think we can close @simcof, yeah?
