Signing a changing oath.. versioning required? about programmers-oath

[mo-g]

@Widdershin We should probably altar the Signing part of the readme to elaborate on this, replace current commit hash with commit hash of the version you wish to sign and point out that the hash serves as the identifier of the version of the text they agreed to, and that they can replace that version with a different version at any time.

@no-g I’d also add that you recommend people star/watch the repo so they get updated on changes. Side benefit is that everyone who signs also stars and the word gets spread.

#95

Done :)

[Widdershin]

Shouldn't there be some kind of versioning scheme?

Yes indeed, this is the purpose of the commit hash that accompanies each signature, it indicates which version of the oath a user signed.

If the oath changes you're welcome to re-sign with a new version by updating the hash that accompanies your signature.

For more discussion on this issue see #3 and #18.

Happy with that?

Entirely happy :)

Good point, can you make a PR please?

Will do - I'm reopening the issue so that there's continuity between the two. :)

Edit: Won't be till tonight/tomorrow now, it's gone 1AM and I need to be up at some point.

Probably a silly question: is it necessary to re-sign the oath at every change?

[aschrijver]

I think this is voluntary.. your previous signature is tagged to the commit state at that particular time.. tagged to that 'version'. But if you like the improvements that have been made since that time, you could re-sign :)
