Lots of new layers!

[Marco Ceppi]

Hello everyone!

We now have 20 interfaces and 18 layers published to the index:
http://interfaces.juju.solutions - this is amazing, and I know there are
even more layers out there in flight still. With the sudden burst of layers
(both charm and interface) we've started seeing charms in the review queue
built on layers. Cory sent an email out earlier[0] about how to handle the
submission of charms built with layers, which is great.

I wanted to start discussing how we should handle the curation of these
layers. Ideally I'd like to follow something along the lines of the charm
review process, where charms are reviewed to make sure they promote the
best possible practice. This helps to make sure deployments are high
quality and means any charm could be used as an example of how to write a
charm.

Applying this to layers seems like a good start, but I don't want to
overburden the current review process and I don't want to stifle the
positive trajectory of layers being created. One idea, which I think would
be simple enough is to continue to keep an open registry but simply have
new layers announced on the list by the authors. This will help expose the
layers being created, invite feedback from the community to the authors,
and give us a chance to make sure layers implement the latest workflow
since the charm build process is still evolving.

Opinions?

Thanks,
Marco Ceppi
