Starting a New Project

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

    Prerequisites

    • Ensure you have defined a clear purpose for the new project
    • To be a maintanier or owner of a project, you need to 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.

    GitHub Repository Configuration

    See our GitHub Repository Configuration Standards.
