This plugin is not consistent with many of the practices followed by most plugins

I see several things just looking around that we should change to bring it more inline with the way that all the other plugins are doing various things these are what I found when doing a release:

• [ ] changelog does not follow the same format
• [ ] the tags are all using the silly v$VERSION. Anyways not trying to start a religious war here, just pointing out areas in where there are differences and we should standardize where possible. As this is the outlier in 180+ plugins I vote we make the change here and not force a lot of extra work on converting everything over.
• [ ] version is not broken out into its own file and is not setup the same way
• [ ] does not have the standard travis config
• [ ] does not auto deploy to rubygems on tag
• [ ] does not have our standard Rakefile
• [ ] does not have our standard rubocop config
• [ ] sensu plugins user does not have access to push to rubygems. IMHO if you can merge there is no reason to not allow releasing.

I am sure there are plenty others...

These all seem like reasonable suggestions. It is important to remember that this library is not a plugin, but the very backbone of every Sensu community plugin, and its practices may differ due to its very nature.

[majormoses]

Agreed that it is different and does not need to be in 100% alignment but none of these things that were brought up seem plugin specific.

[majormoses]

only one I see that might be different would be added rake tasks and a possibly modified rubocop config.

Hi, I've just opened #177 that addresses the rubocop part, the configuration I've added is not exactly the same as the one in the skel plugin but it's a start.
