SIG-storage is trying to move each driver into its own repository, which will allow releasing them independently. I doubt that this driver (regardless of its merits) will be accepted here. Can't you just create your own repo and publish it from there?

[kfox1111]

Yeah, that is issue #81. its been stalled for a very long time.

We need to get csi pod inline support into k8s for 1.14 and if we have some drivers in tree to test against, it would be better. last I talked to @vladimirvivien he mentioned just putting the pr against drivers for now until someone can actually finish up the splitting up of the drivers repo.

I'm a bit afraid sig-storage is holding up work because it wants to do everything perfect from the get go, rather then getting stuff contributed and then keep working on making it better. For API's, its really important to get them as right as possible from the start. For drivers themselves, its not so critical. Please, lets keep making progress on them.

@kfox1111 I was just describing the current situation. I don't have any strong opinions on this. I'll let @saad-ali decide where this driver should go.

[kfox1111]

yeah. not mad or anything. just stating that we've been struggling to contribute for a long time and keep getting stalled out. Just trying to figure out ways to make progress.

[kfox1111]

Oh, and this is also related to #85

[kfox1111]

Its looking like the hostpath driver has finally been split out from drivers? Can we fork it for the image-driver? I'd be happy to rebase this top of that if someone can create it.

Let's move this in to it's own repo under kubernetes-csi.
