The Scala Center has released the initial draft for the Scala Platform and the Scala Platform process. Official announcement is here.
With it, we intend to motivate library authors to join the Scala Platform, submit proposals and help us improve the governance rules and support that we provide to the future maintainers of the Scala Platform.
Some details of the process, as whether modules are allowed to have external dependencies or not, are intended to be worked out by the Community together with the Scala Platform Committee. If you’re interested in my personal take, I roughly explain some of my ideas in Gitter. Instead of encoding these ideas in the process, I think it would set a good precedent if we can discuss what’s the best approach as a community, likewise for future questions that may arise like a uniform place for documentation.
We want to hear from you, so if you want to bring up any suggestion, improvement, question or discussion, this is the right place to do it.
