Future maintenance of this repository and package
amotl opened this issue · 4 comments
Dear Andrew,
I just added a monkey-patch workaround to grafana-wtf, minted from the patch contributed on behalf of #85 and fixing issue #82, see also grafana-toolbox/grafana-wtf@b77f90b.
May I humbly ask if you believe you will be able to come back to maintaining this package? Otherwise, while I am also constrained on resources, I would like to offer to take this over for the benefit of the community.
With kind regards,
Andreas.
Hi again,
did you have a chance to think about our proposal? An alternative would be to fork the repository and re-publish the package to PyPI under grafana-api2, which is considered community's best practice. We have been involved on the same matter with the transition from [1] to [2], see also https://github.com/marians/dwd-weather/issues/3#issuecomment-498086376.
As there are more patches recently being submitted, like #87 by @changdingfang or #89 by @Lasica, I believe the community would appreciate looking forward to another official release which integrates those bugfixes.
With kind regards,
Andreas.

Hi @amotl
It would be great if you could fork the repository as you proposed. Thanks!
Hi @amotl ,
have you already re-published this repo? I too am interested in contributing.
Greetings
Marius
Hi again,
thank you for signaling interest, Marius. We took the chance to make it happen and look forward to any kind of contribution.
We forked the project to 1 and published it as a new package grafana-client at 2. The package has been renamed, and the internal module layout has been refactored slightly, taking the opportunity that a breaking change has been already introduced. A textbook patch for a downstream project to switch over to the new library looks like grafana-toolbox/grafana-wtf#29.
We appreciate the work of Andrew and all contributors on this project (kudos!) and look forward to being a good host for the community for the next time to come. If you have any questions, please open an issue over at 1. It would be sweet to find contributors which would take the co-maintainership role on the new repository.
With kind regards,
Andreas.
