This Repository

There is a complete description of the process to be found in /template/HOW-TO-SPEC.md. You should keep that document for others to understand how to contribute.

Process

This repo contains a template for your specifications. Copy the template folder to your project repository and rename it to specifications. It is absolutely essential that the specs "live" in the same repository as the code, because changes to the code necessitate changes to the specification - and vice versa.

This process described below shows the evolution of the specifications describing a project as it evolves from an idea to a stable implementation.

  • 1 - SCOPE: Create a proposal and get stakeholder signoff.
  • 2 - RFP: Write a request for proposals (RFP) and answer that request with scoped Proposals to Requests (PTR).
  • 3 - SPECS: Write specifications for engineering and requirements.
  • 4 - RFC: Use the RFC process to modify decisions already made.
  • 5 - BOM: Maintain a list of dependencies.

Tools

drawio

We recommend installing the drawio extension for VS Code. It allows you to edit the diagrams in VS Code, and export them to your repository. Maintaining versions inline with the current state of the specifications. For now, consider using the insiders build version of this, because then if you save the diagram as file.drawio.svg you can edit it with the plugin & display it in your markdown documents.

mdbook

Todo: Finalize gh action for creating a mdbook and publishing it. This workflow from Bee is a good start, but needs adaptation to 7PEC. It requires a gh-pages branch and there has to be a deployment key on the repo admin panel.

Bill of Materials

It is fundamentally essential that a software bill of materials is maintained for every project. This is important from not only a security standpoint, but also from a license compliance standpoint. Many programming languages offer automated systems for this, and automation is important for guaranteeing that the software product's BOM stays inline with the current state of the project.

Todo: Create a github action that watches files where versions of software are declared / imported and rerun automation.
