Github topics #11

Open twiro opened 7 years ago

twiro commented 7 years ago

Looks like github just reinvented "tags" and introcuded "topics" to offer a "completely new way to discover similar repositories":

"Topics are labels that create subject-based connections between GitHub repositories and let you explore projects by type, technology, and more."

While this doesn't feel like a big innovation it's still pretty useful and it would be nice to have one or two "official recommended" labels for Symphony that could be documented here and promoted in the community as best practice to be used for tagging github-repos.

I'd suggest...

...as these two terms are pretty distinct and don't interfere with other systems/technologies like solely using symphony or extension does. (sorry for abusing your first extension's repo as example @seanVella - but as topics are pretty new there aren't many symphony-related repos around that do have any topics attached ;)

Any thoughts?

Cool !

nitriques commented 7 years ago

I've just added it to the main repo!

...now that was fast 👍

twiro commented 7 years ago

you're ok with these two suggestions? If so I'd add them to the readme of this repo as recommende best practices!

Added symphony-cms-extension to all my extensions. :-) Should I add symphony-cms as well?

I am not sure what to do with Members Forms – for the moment I added symphony-cms there.

Cool :) Thank you!

Should I add symphony-cms as well?

I'd say why not... makes sense, increases visibility and might improve chances that interested users might stumble upon the repo.

Good question... what about introducing a third label like symphony-cms-utility ? Would make sense in my eyes - there are lots of intereresting utilities for symphony on github which are hard to find, so having a separate "topic" for these repos would definitively help!

michael-e commented 7 years ago

All done.

jonmifsud commented 7 years ago

@twiro I'll revise all of ours as soon as I get some time maybe I get @seanVella to update them :P

SeanVella commented 7 years ago

Haha! Thanks for the heads up, just updated my topics!

twiro commented 7 years ago

Thanks for your feedback & taking action!

So we agreed upon the following syntax for taggig Symphony-related repos:

Fine 👍

I took this as a reason to finally add a second chapter to this repo that (among other best practices regarding extension publishing) recommends using the first two tags for extension repos. Would be great to get some feedback and maybe add some more information before releasing it.

nitriques commented 7 years ago

I'll have hours of fun tagging those things, haha!

nitriques commented 7 years ago

@twiro I should have tagged all "core" extensions and mine. Phew!

That's great! Thank you very much and welcome back Nicolas!

I guess you'll be super busy these first days/weeks, but if you find the time it would be great if you could have a look at what I wrote about recommendations regarding extension publishing and add your thoughts - especially about the questionable points mentioned here.

And let me know if you know of other extensions-development-resources than the ones I listed here - I'd like to put these information into the master-branch as soon as possible...

nitriques commented 7 years ago

I think I've responded to everything, LMK if I miss something!

I think "symphony-cms-members" is also a thing now :)

michael-e commented 6 years ago

Thanks. Done.
