Project Submission Questions
- Name, location, affiliations (eg. corporate), etc.
- Short description of the submitter
- Project Name
- Open source license selection
- One line description
- Detail description
- Status (no code, alpha, beta, released)
- Why is this project important to this community?
- Are there others involved in the development of the project? How many active comitters are there?
- How many users do you currently have?
- If you have users, can you describe a few and how your code has helped them?
