As an initial step in creating the xSDK, we have written a set of xSDK community package policies that a software package must satisfy in order to be xSDK compatible. The designation of a
package being xSDK compatible informs potential users that the package can be easily used with
other xSDK libraries and components and thus helps to address issues in long-term sustainability and interoperability among packages.
