After some discussion on IRC, we landed on this:
One organization: OpenMRS
Core: github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/
Modules: github.com/*{account}*/openmrs-module-moduleid/
Contribs: github.com/*{account}*/openmrs-contrib-foobar/
So, for example, we have 2 repositories to start:
github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-htmlformentry/
github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-modulerepository/
While "openmrs" may feel redundant within the OpenMRS organization's
repository, it establishes the convention (for everyone) of prefixing
OpenMRS modules with "openmrs-module-" and prefixing other contributions
with "openmrs-contrib-". Of course, people can do whatever they want, but
if they want their work to be recognized as, for example, an OpenMRS
module, then they can add the prefix.
This may not be the perfect solution, but it feels like a fairly
straightforward switch from our SVN conventions and could get us by for the
near term.
Thoughts/concerns?
@Kishore – could you rename the HTML-Form-Entry repository to
openmrs-module-htmlformentry?
