This would hopefully give us a space where we can experiment with new maintainer tools in a collaborative manner. I'd love to hear some feedback or thoughs on this!
I think it's a great idea but it needs a solid maintainer. Without a clear leader it's (probably) going to be a free for all and we'll drown under bikeshedding issues within a month. But of course that doesn't mean we'd lose anything trying anyhow.
+1 here. Without a solid maintainer keeping things in check and helping order things around (e.g., how are these scripts going to be distributed) things will be somewhat hard to be useful.
Among other things, I'd personally like to see the repo maintainer enforce sensible and consistent naming for the tools, preferring longer, explicit names over shorter ones. For instance, I'm sure many of us have one-letter scripts and if we contribute them all there's bound to be collisions along with the problem of not knowing at first glance what each tool does. We could maintain a bash alias file containing everyone's favorite nickname for each tool.
I agree with this. I'd also like to add that it'd be nice to have (even if just philosophically) the goal of having contrib/ scripts being promoted to devtools or somewhere else. Thanks, -Santiago.
