We need something useful #1

This repo, and other similar repos as well, don't seem to have anything that is actually useful for future generations

dullbananas commented 5 years ago

We also need to specify in the README where the main repo is, because future generations probably won't know what forks are

Thanks for your feedback @dullbananas

The point of this repository was to let people decide what to share. Usefull information or not :) The fork model works well in that case. Each user can share what he/she wants.

Regarding the index, it is a good idea. Not sure we need to implement it now because there is not enough fork yet.

I am not sure if GitHub is going to preserve forks. For example, torvalds/linux repo has thousands of forks, preserving all that redundant forks sums terabytes. I recommend creating your own repo for the artic vault, not forking this one.

Can you share links to those repos you are talking about?

Here I only see two https://github.com/topics/github-artic-code-vault

Perhaps a LICENSE file with a free license is needed. This repo only has a README.

Let’s put in every open source license in it
