Renaming this Repository
clarkegj opened this issue · 2 comments
In preparation for the release of GEDCOM Version 7 we would like to use the FamilySearch/gedcom repository which is now being used for code relating to parsing GEDCOM. I have the names and emails of all the contributors so they can be notified of the change 30 days before it happens. Jimmy Z. suggested naming it GEDCOM5-java so that GEDCOM is available for a public version of the next version of GEDCOM and beyond. Please share thoughts.
I letter was sent to all collaborators that we had emails for that said:
"GEDCOM Parsing Collaborators.
In preparation for the next release of GEDCOM we would like to use the FamilySearch/gedcom repository which is now being used for code relating to parsing GEDCOM 5.5.1. We will be renaming the repository GEDCOM5-parsers so that GEDCOM is available for a public version of the next version of GEDCOM and beyond. This will be still searchable in GITHUB with the string of “gedcom”. There will also be a note in the readme when the new gedcom repository is created that explains that the repository formally named “gedcom” is now named gedcom5-parsers.
The name FamilySearch/gedcom5-parsers seems consistent with other FamilySearch repositories.
