"Self-administered" CreationIDs may be used without registration #26

Closed jepler closed 1 year ago

jepler commented 1 year ago

If folks doing one-off board definitions have to also create a pull request within creators.git it adds even more friction. What if they could simply allocate an ID without registration or coordination?

Note that creators making multiple products are still suggested to register an ID.

As always, if after discussion this turns out to not be sensible or desirable, please feel free to close the PR unmerged.

For the purpose of Circuitpython, we could have a "Circuitpython administered" creator ID, where the creation list is... the Circuitpython repository. So you just have to use that creator ID, come up with a unique number in configboard (as checked by the CI), and we're good.

That's also a fine idea....

I'd prefer the shared circuitpython id instead of the uuid because I'd like the numbers to be publicly documented somewhere.
