Discussion: App submission form about awesome-ipfs HOT 8 CLOSED

@autonome , please @ anybody you think might want to intervene 😊

@andrew, you might be the most relevant person to give some feedback on this one.

@Ricardo-Silva91 both options seem to have some significant drawbacks, I'd suggest sticking closer to GitHub reviews to avoid extra complexity and dependencies on extra systems.

I don't think we have a need for "friendly" (non-GH) means of approving requests - but we would benefit from a way of submitting them that doesn't require the submitter to make a code PR (aka a web form). @autonome, can you confirm? Am I missing something here? Thanks!

I defer to @jessicaschilling. If we need non-GH approval, we can layer on later.

Thinking that option 2 above is the best way to go. AFAIK the purpose of this exercise is to give folks who aren't so GitHub-savvy (or who just don't want a GH account - say, a project's PR person) the ability to add a project to Awesome IPFS. Anyone on the core team end who's likely to be evaluating and approving a submission will already be pretty heavily into our GitHub ecosystem, so I don't see a need for Forestry-only editors for this site.

That said - generating a staging link for the result of a Forestry-submitted PR would be extremely useful. That way, an approver doesn't need to bring down the PR and build locally in order to make sure it looks OK visually. But that can just be part of the overall CI for the site.

Sound good to everyone?

Quick note for @Ricardo-Silva91: Please note that this repo's README.md also includes a list of all the apps/articles/etc that appear on the Awesome IFPS website. Please make sure that your form workflow accounts for updating that list, too. 😊

Closing this in an effort to reboot this list while keeping the maintainer overhead as low as possible while still making sure the list is awesome!
