<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>For those who are interested in following the progress of our opensource-opentype effort, I went ahead and created a GitHub "organization" at <a href="https://github.com/opensource-opentype">https://github.com/opensource-opentype</a><br><br></div>GitHub orgs are basically the same as 'corporate' accounts (but they're free for FOSS projects). Meaning they have a membership and the members can create multiple repositories underneath the org's hierarchy.<br><br></div>The next question I thought about was what repos to create. My thinking is that, at the "end" of the process, we want to have several things:<br></div>- UI / UX best-practices and guides<br></div>- Some technical docs to assist implementers (current and future) with the non-UI portions of the stack. Perhaps sample code, perhaps just pointing people to the right code elsewhere<br></div>- Some reference documentation that records our thoughts and processes, particularly things like how we interpret the OpenType feature descriptions (which was the subject of a lot of talk at the LGM workshop)<br><br></div>I know there are grey areas and overlaps in that set, but it's a rough sketch. I think those are, at least, three sides of the equation that may be making progress on separate fronts. E.g., Peter's notes about UX research are not *part of* a guide to how HarfBuzz and Pango provide hooks to get at font features. Perhaps, then, that's a good guide for setting up repos in the present.<br><br></div>So my idea would be to, for now, start three repositories: UI, feature reference, and feature access code.<br><br></div>Does that breakdown sound reasonable? What am I forgetting?<br><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br></div><div>Nate<br clear="all"></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>PS - also, please tell me (or Dave or Behdad, currently) your GitHub username if you want to be added to the org. It's no problem.<br></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">nathan.p.willis<br><a href="mailto:nwillis@glyphography.com" target="_blank">nwillis@glyphography.com</a><a href="http://identi.ca/n8" target="_blank"></a></div></div>
