Apply sandbox badge to the project repositories #85

Closed fdegir closed 1 year ago

fdegir commented 3 years ago

Description

Something to signal the level of maturity of tools is needed. As it is now we have a mix of (more or less) abandoned repositories, experimental code and production grade code.

This issue is about applying sandbox badge as described in project lifecycle document.

Motivation

Without this distinction it's more difficult than it should be for newcomers to get started. The overall impression of Eiffel suffers.

Exemplification

When users deploying RemRem,, they ran into a number of unexpected problems. Refer to the issues filed in eiffel-remrem-generate and eiffel-remrem-publish.

Benefits

Having information about the status of projects upfront makes it easier for potential users to estimate the effort needed for deployment.

Possible Drawbacks

If we're not careful it might give the wrong impression and make users hesitant to try out, and contribute to, the development of new tools.
