I don’t think we should change General substantially… maybe add a little bit more quality control (see below), but otherwise, I think it should stay the same. I don’t think a complete “free-for-all” is very in line with the much more cohesive community that Julia has compared to other language.
It might make sense to add a free-for-all “testing registry” (like PyPI has as well). It would also make sense to add additional “highly curated” registries. Of course, both of these things have overhead in maintenance, tooling, and setting everything up. So probably something that’s a bit farther down the road.
I’d very much support that.
Package has some documentation
Very difficult to check automatically, but actually very easy to check manually. We’re doing pretty well with that already.
@mbauman I feel like somewhere this thread should be split along the line of “do we want more registries than just General”. We’re diverging a bit from the original topic, even though this is an interesting and important discussion. But it’s sprawling.
