To take an existing project and turn it into a clojure-contrib project:
All past contributors on the project must:
- Have submitted a Clojure Contributor Agreement (CA)
- Send an email to the clojure-dev mailing list granting permission
The email should say:
"I, (YOUR NAME), give my permission to release my contributions to (PROJECT) under the Clojure Contributor Agreement."
Once a project is in contrib:
- Patches may only be accepted from signers of the CA
- All contributions are automatically governed by the terms of the CA
Achieving a 1.0.0 release
In order to be approved for a 1.0.0 release (by Clojure/core), a contrib library must satisfy the following criteria (work in progress, original list by Stuart Halloway):
- Stability and production use.
- Some amount of time in #1 to get community feedback. (How long?)
- Conformance with Clojure idioms.
- Careful review to avoid unnecessary dependencies.
- Simplicity / Power / Focus.
- Avoid AOT requirement if at all possible.
- Motivated maintainer.
