Advice for first time open sourcing a project

<p>Hi</p> <p>hoping to get some input. Over the past few months I've been working on some research for solving spatial graph/optimization problems. As part of reproducibility I plan on open sourcing the framework and implementations as well as a testing/benchmarking suite. Does anyone have some guidance for noobs? Below are my current thoughts.</p> <ul> <li>What are the things you look for in an algorithmic open source project?</li> <li>Are there any assumptions that get made that make a project less attractive?</li> <li>What are your best practices?</li> <li>Would you rather release it now (in an OK state) v. later (in an excellent state)?</li> </ul> <p>Thanks</p>
