New Project Checklist
This is a relatively simple checklist for you to consider when starting a new open source project, especially where the project may be starting small but wants room to grow. By simple we mean: this list doesn't propose a process or project management for accomplishing these items. In its most simple form it does not have definitions for items; it suggests what is to come without prescribing or demanding obedience to the list.
These are separated out into several different lists, depending on the area covered:
Goals of project
Market positioning
Project name
Licensing & legal
Governance
Project infrastructure
Ownership and financing
These items may be ignored if donating project assets to a foundation.
Launch planning
