Should we have a "contrib" folder? #786

Open steven-johnson opened 9 years ago

steven-johnson commented 9 years ago

Per a recent discussion on the listserv, it might be useful to have a place for generally-useful-contributions that are part of the Halide library proper. Suggestions given include: -- glue code that interfaces with libtiff to load TIFF into a buffer_t -- library of vetted & tested Generators for common operations (e.g., bilinear image resizer)

Does this sort of thing belong in Halide or elsewhere? If the former, how much structure do we need?

I'd support a contrib folder where each subfolder contained a README explaining what the thing was, and some standard test script that the nightly tests could call.
