Keep RxBluetoothKit Alive #420

Open fraune opened 1 year ago

fraune commented 1 year ago

It appears that Polidea/RxBluetoothKit has not reviewed or merged any Pull Requests since 2020.

I would like to help keep this library alive. Could someone with the appropriate access help by doing one or more of the following?

I would love to hear thoughts and ideas around this, since there is not another Bluetooth library for RxSwift of this size and reliability.

Tagging anyone that GitHub says is on the Polidea team @adam-stasiak @agatapst @jakublipinski @kkucharc @literator @potiuk @slawomir-andrian

Poliidea has been acquired and unless some individuals want to keep it running, I think best approach is to fork it and develop on your own. The Apache licence allows it, you can fork it and release/develop on your own. I think there is no need to transfer ownership.

My concern is that there are already 300 forks of this repo, and I believe most are for adding a feature or fixing a bug that specifically affects an individual or single team. As time goes on, it will become more difficult to source great code from many individuals across many forks.

I think its up to you to make one that will be the main one. I don't think there is anyone who can transfer ownership to you officially, so you need to make sure to build enouhg of value yourself to make it the "main" fork.

BTW. You can start with gathering those 300 repos and bringing their fixes into your fork and ask them to switch to yours. That's what I'd do if I wanted to provide value for others.

I understand. I've never attempted something like that before, but I think it may be worth the effort. Thanks for your perspective and for letting me know that this repo probably won't receive any more updates.
