You mean make a post on Lemmy? For me the root problem is still here: I have no contacts in the (admittedly extremely wide) industry and could not build a platform for people to register their projects to. I can only draw the outline of how this thing would work
Edit: I'll try to write something down and make a post somewhere. Any community suggestions?
In this case, there are many stakeholders involved. Volunteers, developers on corporate payroll, etc. That alone adds complexity to any solution. Doesn't men no solution can be found, but adds to the inertia since it requires more effort
For all I care the FSF could handle this actually
It's not as simple as having an idea. Everyone can have great ideas, the problem is getting everyone on board and figuring everything else out. I'm not a FOSS dev so I don't have a foot in the community to pitch that. Don't mean to shut you down but it is probably more complicated than I made it out to be, otherwise it would probably exist in some shape
Does anyone have the picture? I have grown weary of claims of antisemitism these days since they are so often raised for antizionist criticism
The problem is always how you divide, particularly for libraries. It is hard to rightly estimate. For better or for worse, we should have a union of open source developers and they should divide it up. Just pay the union and they will share that democratically amongst themselves, deciding their own criterias, sorting out edge cases, having a way to process disagreements, etc
FSF stepping up would be awesome and I've thought about it. Sadly it doesn't seem to be in their priorities
