Infrastructure checklist

• A code repository
  • SVN -> On Espace Win this is the link (ask Dereckson to resume this service, it's currently disabled)
  • Git -> GitHub (please create an organization account EWOSP) or BitBucket (we already have a EWOSP team, add Dereckson to be added in)
  • Mercurial -> Bitbucket
• An entry on cia.vc (currently offline)
• A component in Bugzilla (check here)

Release checklist

• Release should contain a README file with:
  • with a link to the bug tracker
  • with a link to your software homepage
  • with a note about the IRC channel Freenode #EWOSP (you can use http://irc.lc/Freenode/EWOSP as link)
• If this is a binary application, did you compile x64 and x86?
• If this is a .Net application, did you compile it with the smallest framework version required by your code (e.g. 2.0)?
