Add EmojiTwo (fork of now-proprietary EmojiOne) #28369

Open joepie91 opened 7 years ago

joepie91 commented 7 years ago

Issue description

The EmojiOne font (package here) has gone proprietary. A community fork has been created, based on the last open-source (CC-BY) EmojiOne version, named EmojiTwo. In the interest of preferring maintained open-source packages over unmaintained/proprietary ones, it should probably be added to the package collection.

(Unless you're particularly bored or want to have it added right now, don't prioritize adding this package; I'll probably be creating a PR for it myself in the near-ish future once I get around to it, and I'm just using this as a tracking issue so I don't forget.)

Twemoji are arguably more beauitiful and definitely more complete: https://github.com/twitter/twemoji emojione-color-font (the package that we use) author encourages to move to twemoji-color-font:

Given their set of changes over EmojiOne 2.x, I don't think that it makes sense to adopt EmojiTwo: https://github.com/EmojiTwo/emojitwo/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

They have basically only added glyphs that have not made it into Emoji/Unicode specification.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
  3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
