Badge icons and NuGet #6

Open clairernovotny opened 5 years ago

clairernovotny commented 5 years ago

In addition to displaying the badges on a project's readme, I think it'd be useful to the ecosystem if the badges could be displayed in the NuGet UX (website, clients). I'd suspect that most developers aren't going to a GitHub site to determine quality. Having those badges visible where they look for packages could be a huge benefit and help users make a decision based on a project's maturity level.

/cc @rrelyea as NuGet PM

Indeed. The proposal touches on this, and I've had initial conversations with the NuGet team on this. Let's assume that this will happen.

This should just get enabled as part of ReadMe integration. i.e. when we allow developers to put a the markdown file in the nupkg and is displayed as extended description. The badges come automatically.

@anangaur I would want to see this on the top-level search results, not buried in the readme.

anangaur commented 5 years ago

Got it. We are discussing about quality indicators and it does fit in that. Will keep you posted as we make progress.

richlander commented 5 years ago

Cool. I'll also setup some time with you @anangaur on what I see as the best next steps for NuGet to integrate into this.

terrajobst commented 5 years ago

Oren's ask obviously would mean integration work in the client UI as well. I could even see this going to be a step further and in conjunction with the trust features NuGet has built. For instance, a project might want to state "I'm a level X library, so please block me from accidentally depending on a library that isn't at least level X as well". Same goes for app authors in conservative environments that require the highest maturity level for dependencies. I suppose both will need a way to deal with exceptions tho.
