Starting a New Project

You can share your idea for a new Project by starting a Discussion here.

Organization Admins can execute the below procedure to create new Project within the Sonatype Open Source Community.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have defined a clear purpose for the new project
• Maintaniers of the project must have previously contributed to another Sonatype Open Source Project

Creating the Project

• Create a new GitHub Repository in the Sonatype Community GitHub Organization using the Community Project Template as the template repository

  This will cause a number of default files to be placed into your new repository. It will also automatically inherit a number of Organization defined files that you do not need to redefine in your project.
