@Pat Hickey @Bailey Hayes is there anything that I need to do on my side to move the repo into the WebAssembly org? Do I need to fork the wasi-proposal-template?

oh, right, I just did this for wasi-observe with @Chris Dickinson - the process that worked, at least for that case, was to transfer ownership of the repo to me (pchickey on github), and then i have the permissions to transfer it into the webassembly org, and then once thats complete i need to re-add you and your co-chair as admins of the repo. sound good?

Fine with me, just not sure the current repo has the right structure.

Does the repo need to be a fork of wasi-proposal-template?

view this post on Zulip Pat Hickey (Feb 13 2024 at 17:30):

yes, it should be, if possible

if something about that template is really not the right shape, lets talk about it

if you are going to migrate stuff to a different shape by hand, i can make a fork of the template for you under WebAssembly and give you the right permissions, and then you can just go from there?

Yeah, let's do that.

Should I move everything over including the examples, or just the wit?

view this post on Zulip Pat Hickey (Feb 13 2024 at 17:38):

im not sure what the best policy is for examples. the standards process is pretty keen to separate implementations (e.g. wasmtime-wasi, wasmtime-wasi-http, wasmtime-wasi-nn) from the specs themselves. in the cases where we have put implementations under the webassembly org, its actually created some problems (e.g. what is the process for early disclosure of a security problem in wasi-libc? well, we dont have one, because the standards body doesnt really have a way to do non-public things). otoh, if the examples are instructive to show people how implementations should work, that seems appropriate to be in the proposal repo (and maybe as we start doing tests for many different proposals we will do it in individual proposal repos rather than centralize it in WebAssembly/wasi-testsuite like exists today)

so, i guess based on that guidance, you can make your best judgement for whether examples belong inside your proposal repo, or out in some other repo where an "implementation" lives

In that case, I think I'll keep them separated for now.
