add to https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/

I suggest to add KrylovKit.jl to https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/

[Jutho]

I am not opposed to this, though so far I have been developing this by myself. However, I would welcome contributions, as this is not my main area of expertise. What would be the benefit of adding it there and what would I need to do for that?

[ViralBShah]

In order to add it there, I just need to make you owner of JuliaLinearAlgebra. You can then go into Settings and transfer the repo. By itself, it will not attract new developers - but with some announcements on discourse and filing more issues and giving it more visibility, I have no doubt more developers will come.

I have already sent you the invitation.

Thanks @ViralBShah . A few questions though, as this would be the first repository that I move to such an organisation.

• How does moving the repository = changing the http address affect the package registration in Julia's General Registry?

• Are there any implications when this package lives in JuliaLinearAlgebra, e.g. in terms of CI services that can or should be used, or other specific regulations that I should pay attention to?

• Are there specific expectations? E.g. a higher standard for documentation etc?

[ViralBShah]

1. Github will forward the URL - so no problem there. Although we should eventually change it in General. But it won't break.
2. The packages should do what is best
3. The same - packages should do what is best.

I think these are all good questions to ask - and I am hoping we can organize the contributors to Julia Linear Algebra to strive towards higher quality overall. In part, gathering folks and packages in a couple of orgs - JuliaLinearAlgebra and JuliaMatrices - I feel is a good first step.

I just moved MKL.jl from JuliaComputing to JuliaLinearAlgebra for that reason.

@ViralBShah , I spent very little time behind a computer screen during the past holidays and as such I have accidently let the invitation to JuliaLinearAlgebra organisation expire. Is it possible to send it again? My apologies.

[ViralBShah]

No worries and sounds like that is a good thing to avoid the computer. :-)

Sent again

[Jutho]

Thanks; this time I accepted right away. I will look into transferring KrylovKit.jl tonight or later this week.

[ViralBShah]

@Jutho Wondering if we should transfer to JuliaLinearAlgebra. Perfectly ok if you would prefer not to - but I thought I will ping on the open issue.

[Jutho]

Thanks for the reminder @ViralBShah ; I had completely forgotten about this: my memory is like Swiss cheese. I won't have time before November, but I am still interested in the transfer. I was planning to make some small changes and tag a new version, before then transferring.

[Jutho]

Hi @ViralBShah, last semester turned out to be much busier than anticipated. I am revisiting this now. I am also considering moving LinearMaps.jl to JuliaLinearAlgebra, if at least there is some interest for that? I think it would be great because it is now almost completely developed and maintained by @dkarrasch instead of me. Would he then also need to become an owner of JuliaLinearAlgebra? Given all his contributions even to the LinearAlgebra standard library, I expect that would not be a problem?

[ViralBShah]

Thanks - I made you owner, and also invited @dkarrasch as owner.

[Jutho]

Thanks; I think I was already owner. So the only thing I should do is move the repository?

[ViralBShah]

You were member, it turns out. I converted you to owner when I messaged you. Yeah - all that needs to happen is transfer to the repository. I suppose also update the registry URL (but not strictly necessary since Github forwards).
