I would also say that presumably these new repos are not going to include the previous STIX 1/TAXII versions so technically they only will include 2.x and future revs. Not 1.x. If they
are named without version I would expect all versions including 1.x.
I have a slight preference for the number in the repos because it helps distinguish from the previous version that is very different as Bret says.
Regarding major vs minor changes. I think the heart of the issue is not the number per se but what defines compatibility/interoperability. For example, introducing a new optional TLO may
not break any implementation if those implementations don’t need to support that TLO. Whereas if the use case requires use of that TLO then they would obviously want to support that TLO and make sure they support the mandatory aspects including agreed behavior.
I would rather we focus on defining what is required for compatibility and interoperability and less about the number of the spec.

I like the distinction it gives. Keep in mind that the reason we are using these repos (the official specification ones) is not for the source control, but for the wiki and issue tracking. Branching and Tagging and all of the other Git
stuff is not what we are looking to use these repos for.

Our thinking was just that if we ever have another major version release of (for example) STIX, it would be due to very fundamental changes and we’d want a clean break. And of course to

I’m fine either way.

I would say I agree with Patrick... I am not sure why we should put version numbers on the repo names. Versioning is part of Github. STIX 2 "stable" would just be a tag and/or branch...

I would argue instead for a single Open and Work Product repo for each of the 4 SCs and the use of Github Branches for variants. Ultimately Github provides a number of very useful capabilities for managing workflow, variants,
releases that will serve us well.

I think major release numbers are okay... Since if we ever do a STIX 3, we will probably want to start fresh at that point.
Thanks,

Recommendation: Remove the version specific attributes from the requested Chartered Work and and Open Repository Names/Descriptions.
Understand that we need to discriminate (for now) between the “Legacy” and “Next Generation” Github Repositories. However, making Version specific instantiations of the multitude of separate Chartered Work and and Open Repository
will greatly complicate things long term (i.e., as new major releases occur).
