Move the platform policy to general-policies #31

Closed levitte closed 1 year ago

levitte commented 1 year ago

This is a copy of the current platform policy, found in the repository git@github.com:openssl/web.git, policies/platformpolicy.md (or https://www.openssl.org/policies/platformpolicy.html), split up in a policy file and informational tables.

I am thinking that maybe it would be better to have a single page containing all the supplementary tables, rather than having it on four different ones? I guess most commonly people will want to know "what level of support does platform x have"? Having them all on one page means they can scan down the list until they find the entry they are looking for. Otherwise you potentially have to click in and out of four different pages.

Also, I assume we would count this as a "minor edit" (i.e. no vote required)? This is a current policy which we're not changing the meaning of - just changing formatting and its location.

Hmmm... yeah ok, your reasoning resonates with me. I'll do the change

Yup. I've litteraly taken the original platformpolicy.md and just done the small edits to split out the tables, and a few other similar janitorial things.

Ah, I had forgotten the minor edit label

Ping?

I'm being a bit insistent here, because I believe that moving this here and separating out the tables will be quite helpful for ... well, everyone.

levitte commented 1 year ago

@mattcaswell, still fine?
