Like in most cases when the argument can go both ways, I think it would be helpful to summarize all the views and their pros and cons to give a comprehensive picture.
The current summary of the points are: Pros: -P0: Encourages developers community participation to the project, exercise community over code. Concerns(in someone might view) - C0: it as un-released distribution, which violates the release policy - C1: Link to github serves as ads to github Intent - The shardingsphere community has good intent starting from P0, but not necessarily shares the same opinion over C0 and C1. -------- Again I think the intent is important, after aour goal is welcome and support these projects and help them grow the community in apache way. While different people or community might have choose to do it different like being suggested, I personally might even agree with you that the link should not be in the frontpage In this case, if there is no strict ruling, I think it would be helpful to let the project community choose the verdict, while acknowledging that there might be different opinions in different communities. Of course the solution Crag suggested seems to work as well :) TQ On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 6:25 PM Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > By adding that you have placed a large prominent ad to commercial entity > on your home page.
