Updating existing code repositories
Wouldn't it be useful to have the ability to set a new code upload to non-public
as this allows us to co-work on new releases while others are still able to download previous versions. Once the new release is mature, we can set it as public
.
The alternative (for co-working) is to publish updates as non-public
on a new (temporary) repo page and move it to the original page once it is finished but this is less user-friendly and creates unnecessary new repositories (I do know we can delete them).
Pre-project list on the Forum
In order to prevent users from developing code at the same time without knowing about each other (most of the time, we start with a non-public repository), it could be useful to have a Pre-project
list on the forum page where users can publish their intentions so other users can ask to join a project by sending a private message.
Currently, we could already do this on the Components
page by creating a new component before we start coding and ask for co-developers to join by placing a note with our name on the page but this is not possible for generic code.
A less attractive alternative would be to use the Questions
list but it would be hard to filter out these projects unless we always add a Pre-project
tag (by experience, I know we often forget to add Tags).
In some cases, we can immediately start with a public repository and ask users to join the development.
