This is something that has bothered me for a while.

We have a lot of standards and guiding principles, but a lot of it is all in our heads, wisdom one can only get by talking about it on toolchain, and/or breaking things and getting yelled at.

As such, I propose a very rudimentary idea:

Toolchain

This is the top namespace

Toolchain::Standards


First of all +1000 on the idea itself. I want to point out an alternative to the naming, simply because I have been thinking about something *very* similar for about 6 months now (and this email may in fact be the thing that gets me rolling).

The toolchain is not the only thing that has a body of knowledge to be documented. All organizations have that. All individual projects have that. And *individual authors* have things they would want to document. Not because of vanity, but because it is much much much simpler to link to a piece of text, instead of rehashing an argument for the 100th time.

Therefore I am urging you to think broader and go for:

Policy - short blurb what is this about
  Policy::Org - short sub-blurb what is this about
    Policy::Org::P5P - pumpkin maitaned
    Policy::Org::Toolchain - joint maintainership
  Policy::Project
    Policy::Project::Moose
    Policy::Project::DBIC
  Policy::Author
Policy::Author::AUTARCH - explicitly reserved (and non-squatable, PAUSE admins take action when needed)
    Policy::Author::RIBASUSHI

Sorry for the sidetrack
