[question] custom layouts and layouts included in app about unexpected-keyboard

[Julow]

Hi, thanks for your interest :)

Layouts can be added into the srcs/layouts folder, some guidelines are written in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Only "standard" layouts are accepted, though that's not written down anywhere. I tend to accept layouts that have a name and a proof that they have users (eg. a wikipedia page).

This repository is intended for sharing user layouts: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard-layouts

Thank you for the information, this is exactly what I was hoping to learn.

I tend to accept layouts that have a name and a proof that they have users (eg. a wikipedia page).

@Julow: Not Wikipedia; it has a notorious rule that all articles must be notable to the actual press, as in having newspaper articles about it. I can't just write a layout, or start a club, and document it on Wikipedia—they'd delete it.

@Spike-from-NH If you start a layout, it'll certainly not have more than one user until you make it popular enough for Wikipedia.
Anyway, that's not a rigid rule. The intention is that in the current state of the app, I only accept layout that are likely to have many users.

Got it. See if my new final section of the .md file sums this up correctly.
