How to fix CKM biggest issue

Do you really need a separate CKM instance to be able to share archetypes, though?

In the Norwegian CKM, we’ve been quite liberal in handing out (public or private) incubators w/ editor rights to anyone (in Norway; non-profit or commercial) who wants one. We had an initial lapse where we handed out projects, but luckily we were able to rein that in before it became impossible to manage. (To those of you who may not know the difference between CKM projects and incubators, archetypes in projects are counted as part of that CKM’s “canon” and can be reviewed and published, while incubators are basically sandboxes for collaborating and sharing archetypes and templates.)

This approach is working relatively well, with the main criticism being that uploading archetypes to the CKM is more cumbersome than syncing them to GitHub. I’m sure this can be worked on in the future, though. J

Also, as others have pointed out before, the CKM has much more very specialised functionality than just versioning and sharing. We would not have been able to do what we’re doing with the national governance here in Norway were it not for the review functionality of the CKM.

Hi y’all,

I think there are a couple of conversations happening at different levels.

Ian and Silje have both described the CKM tool being involved in a knowledge governance process that is greater than a repository and versioning tool and for a specific task. Core functionality involves the complex review process and knowledge governance that meets this very specialised need.

This is a completely different space. No vendor should be using CKM to manage its applications and implementations, but there is definitely a requirement for this kind of tool. It’s an open market for anyone who it interested IMHO.

Regards
