[poly_collection] Questions about merging into Boost
Boost.PolyCollection was recently accepted into Boost and I'm planning to integrate it into https://github.com/boostorg/ asap to begin test cycling. I am not sure if the lib will be in a good enough shape for launching with Boost 1.65, though. Questions: 1. The current repository is https://github.com/joaquintides/poly_collection , which has branches master (code) and website (for the online docs). Is the following the right procedure for integration with Boost? a. Rename master to develop (https://gist.github.com/lttlrck/9628955 ) b. Transfer repo to boostorg (https://help.github.com/articles/about-repository-transfers/ ) c. Ask for write permission to github.com/boostorg/poly_collection 2. Can the repo not have a master branch until I decide the lib is ready for launch? Will this result in poly_collection simply not being in Boost releases while still develop tests are cycling? Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz

I would advise you to retain master, instead of renaming it. Branch develop off that and start the usual "work on develop, merge stable to master" workflow.
b. Transfer repo to boostorg (https://help.github.com/articles/about-repository-transfers/ ) c. Ask for write permission to github.com/boostorg/poly_collection
Yes. And (d) ask for the repo to be added as a submodule on the develop branch of the superproject.
2. Can the repo not have a master branch until I decide the lib is ready for launch?
There's no need for the repo to not have a master branch. Until it's included as a submodule in the master superproject, it will not go out in a release.

I can't transfer the repository as I seemingly don't have the rights --this is what GitHub says at least. I opened an issue at boostorg/admin: https://github.com/boostorg/admin/issues/124 Or am I supposed to do this thing differently? Thank you Joaquín M López Muñoz

If you transfer it to me, I'll transfer it into boostorg. I do think we need a better way to handle this though. Maybe it's possible to have a halfway house github organisation that anyone can add a repo to, and then an admin could transfer from there into the main organisation. If anyone has any other ideas, I opened an issue a while ago: https://github.com/boostorg/admin/issues/118
