The role of MeeGo working groups are explained at http://meego.com/about/governance

This is a request to the Technical Steering Group to approve the creation of a Repository working group. There is no procedure defined but we can can improvise with some common sense:

Mission

The Community working group defines the strategy for publishing community created software with the MeeGo project, and observes its implementation.

Areas

The main areas within the scope of the working group are (in no particular order):

  • User package repository: bringing something equivalent to the maemo.org Extras repository to MeeGo.
  • Manage dependencies: Make sure dependencies for user applications are maintained by maintainers. Prevent developers from having to maintain their whole dependency chain.
  • User package QA: Quality Assurance on packages.
  • Packaging policy: Define a clear packaging policy for MeeGo, and keeping the packaging system open to the community
  • Package maintaining: Provide an interface for maintainers of a package to maintain their package.
  • Documentation: Document package contribution, creation and maintenance.

Contributors
