Erlang Projects
Welcome to our Erlang Projects category!
We’ll use this category for projects that may be beneficial to the wider Erlang-ecosystem and as broadly as possible. This means they should either benefit the majority of people (even if that’s by benefiting the language itself so helping with adoption indirectly) or, it it something that could actually help with adoption more directly (eg, a tool that people might specifically come to Erlang for).
To qualify for a section in the Erlang Projects category your project should meet all of the following criteria:
- Be under active development and where there is a demonstrable need that it requires somewhere to discuss important topics as the project is being developed.
- Be a project that could be considered fairly crucial to the wider community (even if it only serves a portion of it - but that proportion must be enough to impact the wider community, i.e by potentially being able to improve overall adoption in a big enough way).
If you feel your project fits this criteria and you feel you need such a section, please let us know. Please also be aware that each section must be approved by the Erlang Core Team. Additionally, please first consider using our standard avenues, mainly:
- If your project is a library or tool which doesn’t require a great deal of development then it may be better to post a thread in the Libraries section and then updates in that thread.
- If your project is more or less ‘done’ then in addition to the above, people can simply as questions or start discussions in our usual Questions / Help or Chat / Discussions sections by adding the
tag
for your project (tags act like mini-forums).
Please only request a dedicated section in this category if you can confidently say our usual avenues described above won’t be sufficient and that your project requires a fairly considerable amount of work and/or feedback to get it to a release state.
Thank you!
[Please note, as with many things we try on the forum this category is on trial - if it doesn’t work how we thought it might, or it is not used very much we’ll revert to what we had previously.]
