Yes and no. This is about agreeing on a common file tree layout. It's not the end of the story: there is a separate effort (github.com/kardianos/vendor-spec) about agreeing on a common format for recording where code came from.

Once there is agreement on those, however, I am not sure how important it will be to agree on a single program, although there may end up being natural agreement anyway.

The Go community need not rally around a single text editor, because instead we agree on what Go source files are and that they are named *.go. It may be that something similar can happen here.



Thanks, I didn't know about the vendor spec.
