Request for Maintainers

Raising the visibility of #21 (comment)

Anyone have bandwidth to help maintain this?

There's some low hanging fruit for #20, for example.

[taf2]

@bmulholland I can help out

[bmulholland]

@taf2 Awesome! I suggest starting with small contributions, helping to solve existing issues or finish existing PRs. Even code reviews would help.

(To be clear, I'm not involved in the project in any meaningful way, just facilitating!)

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for helping out here. I run and maintain several Rust-powered Ruby gems, including:

• https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker
• https://github.com/gjtorikian/selma
• https://github.com/gjtorikian/what_you_say

@bmulholland willing to take over as well, could move to oxidize-rb as well

[bmulholland]

For any of you, just get started: create a few PRs, respond to issues, whatever you'd think would be best.

If you don't get prompt code reviews or merges, we can figure out a fork from there.

[gjtorikian]

Well, the one change I would immediately want to make is the one with a PR pending for Ruby 3.4 support: #39

[bmulholland]

Ah yeah, and I see there's been no response on that. Then what I've seen work best for other projects is to make a fork and start maintaining that. You can post a link to it here and we can all start helping out with it.

This gem is an important dependency of us, I can help with maintenance or even move it under our org if needed.

Looks like we are missing several commits from the last released version.

[gjtorikian]

I’ve been keeping up with PRs and changes as they’ve been coming in.

The reason there hasn’t been a new release yet is because all of CI is failing due to a dependency: #68 (comment)

Since that dependency hasn’t had a release yet, I don’t feel comfortable bumping a release here with untested changes.

[gjtorikian]

Going to close this out as the dependency issues have been resolved; #75 also brought the models more up to date. These have been released in #78 / v0.0.12

[gjtorikian]

Oh, I forgot to add: I've started adding the Help Wanted label to projects that could use, well, help.
