Hello, Erkki Keränen.
I want to take over your package to fix, maintain and improve it.
With best regards,
Vivien Richter
Hi @vivi90 ,
Thanks for your interest!
I’d be glad if you would like to do it. How would you like to proceed?
@erkkikeranen I see there three possible ways:
- Transfer the repository directly to me.
- Create a new organization, transfer the repository there. Create a team with admin rights over this repository in this organization and add me to this team.
- Move the repository to an existing similar organization: https://github.com/atom-extensions
@erkkikeranen Asked my team members. Waiting for the answer.
Hi, I'll transfer over the repository to your organization.
I'm glad if you want to continue work on the project.
I would be glad if you mention me as the original author (Erkki Keränen) in the Readme, as a footnote :)
I have no particular interest in maintaining the organization, so I would prefer transfering the repo either to you or the atom-extensions organization (latter preferred?)
@erkkikeranen Of course you will be mentioned
I am currently waiting for the okay of our organization owner.
So if you don't want to wait, it's okay to transfer it to me and i will later transfer it to the organization.
@erkkikeranen Okay, now i have the okay of all my team members. Ready to take off
So please transfer it to: https://github.com/atom-extensions
@erkkikeranen We need also your API token from https://atom.io/account to be able to publish updates.
I'm currently a few days away from my computer, so I'll do it on thursday. Can you provide an e-mail adress or other mean to deliver api token?
@erkkikeranen Okay, no Problem :-) Yes, i will until thursday.
@erkkikeranen I see we don't really need the API token, if you transfer the whole repository to our organization.
So just transfer it to https://github.com/atom-extensions and everything is fine.
I guess I need to transfer it to your personal account because I don't have write access to your organization. I've sent a transfer request.
@erkkikeranen Just moved
Thank you very much!
@erkkikeranen thanks
@sdinesh86 Might you please adjust the team permissions for this repository, so we are able to rollout some fixes?
I have set Maintainers role to our group
@sdinesh86 As long as our organization ATOM_ACCESS_TOKEN is also authorized for use in this repository, it should be fine.
@UziTech This package still needs a build process :-) Also maybe a switch-over to JavaScript?
I'm currently stretched pretty thin. It might take me a couple weeks to get to that but it is on my todo list.
@UziTech @sdinesh86 @erkkikeranen I think, it's time to close this issue now
I will starting with refactoring and rewriting the code.
@erkkikeranen Please don't hestitate to open an issue, if there is something you want to say.
