Helps clarify that this is, indeed, not to be used.

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

Do you think it's clearer than the current message and why? Just curious. Did you consider putting it above the current deprecation message too?

loganvolkers commented 8 years ago

In general if a project has been deprecated, I like to see a couple things:

before: TypeScript Definition manager for DefinitelyTyped http://definitelytyped.org/tsd/ after: *DEPRECATED* in favor of https://github.com/typings/typings

Prevent people from just scrolling past it.

But honestly maybe the root of the problem is updating the TSD website and definitelytyped.org, since they have been around for a long time they have good SEO juice, and that's what people see first.

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

To be completely honest, I don't know who owns the DefinitelyTyped website and no one has reached out about updating it, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Hopefully that someone is watching the repo and sees this, but I've found a lot of original DefinitelyTypers (and original TypeScripters) have moved onto other things.

Feel free to submit a PR with the major README change. Just move the existing content to a new file.

DT website is on Github.io with the repos in the org: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/definitelytyped.github.io

Is there a page for TSD? Everything I see is a redirect to a broken URL.

borisyankov commented 8 years ago

@blakeembrey It seems not supported for a while.

Maybe @Bartvds and @Diullei can jump in and give update/opinions on the state of TSD.

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

@borisyankov Last thing was I was helping to maintain TSD and wrote a lot of the features Typings now has intending to be TSD 1.0. It was such a major change to TSD though, that I realised it separately and it can consume from DefinitelyTyped.

borisyankov commented 8 years ago

Yeah, @blakeembrey that is pretty good work. I am thinking, if TSD is not going to be supported in future, we should promote Typings instead.
