Make explicit SSSOM-py uses zero-versioning #476

Open cthoyt opened 9 months ago

cthoyt commented 9 months ago

version 1.0.0 is scary and scientists can't commit to it so we just never get to 1.0 and use minor versions as major versions. This is called zero versioning, and is useful to explicitly communicate: https://0ver.org/

Great point. What is the best practice to "announce" this? Just a fat line on the README?

cthoyt commented 9 months ago

yes. Zero version is also half-satire, so not sure what you think about that

matentzn commented 9 months ago

I find it realistic more than satire :P

cthoyt commented 9 months ago

That's what makes it good satire ;)
