@TonyTroeff can you please clarify if you are applying to have your entire open source project https://github.com/TryAtSoftware/Extensions join the .NET Foundation... or if you are only submitting the TryAtSoftware.Extensions.Reflection class.
I do not know which would be easier. Potentially, I would like to apply with all of them. However, they may consist of multiple separate NuGet packages (and there are more yet to come). I would appreciate your advices.
Usually an application includes all of the IP which is grouped under the same open source license. So in your case it appears that the entire repo including all of your extensions is offered under the same MIT-based permissive license. So your application should include the entire repo. If you wanted to only contribute a specific Extension then you would need to manage that extension as an independent piece of IP under its own distinct license. However I don't think that is your intent in this situation. Note that it does not matter if you may have 1 or more Nuget packages depending on your deployment strategy. What matters is that all items in your distribution are licensed under the same open source license. I hope this makes sense.
Yes, it does, In that case, it makes sense to include everything that is included within the repository. Should I create a new application or edit this one?
I would suggest simply editing this application
Done! Excuse me for the delayed response. I was sick the last few days...
@TonyTroeff the Project Committee reviewed your application and it was noted that the Windows Community Toolkit (https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit) is a "utility" project that is already a member of the .NET Foundation - so perhaps there may be an option to approach its maintainer(s) to determine if there is interest in joining forces. From a maintainers point of view, I completely understand if this does not align with your personal goals for the project... but the Committee thought it would be a good idea to raise the question with you regardless. Please share your thoughts so that we can determine next steps for your application.
Hello!
From what I know and have seen, the Windows Community Toolkit is mostly focused on the development of UI components. However, the idea of TryAtSoftware.Extensions
is to expose extension methods and utility components simplifying common tasks at lower or higher level of abstraction and complexity. It is platform-independent and, moreover, all libraries are developed under .NET Standard.
The two projects just look too different to me.
