   Discussion Materials

On today's Registries call, the topic of evaluating potential solutions for sustainability came up. The Registries group was interested in assembling a list of criteria for determining how sustainable a solution is. I suggested as a starting point referring to the Jasig Incubation Process.

The Process is designed to start more or less from scratch, and over an unspecified period of time ensure a project has met various criteria that were determined to ensure the project was sustainable. You can see the full process here:

Extracting from that highlights the Registries group (and others) might consider:

• Code in public repository
• Public issue tracker
• Public wiki
• Public lists
• Public web presence
• Proper OSS license
• Active and diverse development community
  • Committers from more than one institution and beyond the original set
  • Project lead
  • If one contributor leaves demonstrate that the project will continue to exist
• Project steering committee/governance
• Public release plans/roadmap
