I want a Vagrant box on which to configure and develop WordPress. Here are some of the options. I wanted to decide on one. Here is how.
- Box: name
- Stars: on GitHub, # stars
- Ctrb: on GitHub, # contributors
- Rel: on GitHub, # releases
- Cmts: on GitHub, # commits
- Brn: on GitHub, # branches
- For: Purpose of box
- Rct: Gut reaction 1
+: Like*: Pros and Cons-: Dislike
- Rt2: Gut reaction 2
Strategy:
- Identify options
- Classify them by stars and contributors
- Get a gut reaction whether to dig deeper or not
- Review them again
