Duplicate Sources

[Mitzi-Laszlo]

Here is an overview of all the repositories on the Solid GitHub account.

The website is linked to a repository on the Solid GitHub account. Drafts of new versions of the website are connected to another repository on the Solid GitHub account.

The new version of the website covers a lot of information that used to be collected in a variety of repositories.

I propose making it clear that anyone wanting to add to or update information should do so in the repository linked to the draft website rather than the following repositories:

*App Listing now on https://solidproject.org/use-solid/apps

• Pod Listing and Identity Provider Listing and solid-idps now on https://solidproject.org/use-solid
• dweb-summit-2018 and talks and intro to solid slides now on https://solidproject.org/press
• context, vocab, solid-namespace now on https://solidproject.org/for-developers/apps/vocabularies   * profile-viewer-tutorial, solid tutorial angular, solid-tutorial-rdflib.js, understanding linked data, solid tutorial pastebin, solid-tutorial-intro now on https://solidproject.org/for-developers
• Information now on https://solidproject.org/

Would there be any preferences to one of or a combination of the following strategies:

• adding a note to the read more of the repositories mentioned saying. "This information is now covered on https://solidproject.org/. To add content to solidproject.org submit an issue or pull request to the repository linked to the draft website or email info@solidproject.org
• respond to any requests to update the draft website to include any of the information in the repositories mentioned above
• archiving the repositories mentioned above

In response to: "is the idea that, there's now two sources of truth for various lists (pod hosting providers, apps, etc) - the Solid website, and various GitHub repositories? and the issue is how to deal with the duplication?" from @dmitrizagidulin

Indeed, the problem is that there are multiple sources of truth on various fronts. solidrproject.org is linked to a single repository so I am asking what to do with the other repositories.

From an outsiders point of view, thinking about the experience I would expect trying to contribute:

The first two suggestions would suffice for now. Archiving the other repos this soon may loose some info that hasn't transitioned yet, but may be a good long term approach

Thanks for the input @JordanShurmer!

Note that archiving is not deleting, you can still access the information but it makes it clear that it is not being actively updated.
