Throwing my hat in for maintainer #1188

Closed benbot closed 1 month ago

benbot commented 2 months ago

I would like to throw hat in the ring for maintainer.

I've been playing around with boardgame.io for years and have a PR that got merged in a while ago as well. I'm familiar with the internals.

I work with express, nodejs, react, and vue on a daily basis and have since the beginning of time (around 2013 or so).

I'm starting to work on a larger project that's using boardgame.io and am already planning to at least bump some of the really old deps (like babel and socket.io)

@benbot I am still maintaining some projects from 2020 on fork of bgio v0.39 (i hacked in some features i needed over time) but I would also consider contributing if we can manage to get PRs merged.

I don't have much experience with open source development, but is there any chance that our PRs will be merged or do we have to make our own public fork?

benbot commented 2 months ago

Currently, I'm not the maintainer of this project (though, i'd like to be), so I can't merge in any PRs. I think I just have the "Contributor" badge because a PR of mine got merged in some years ago.

If you wanted to publish changes or fixes, for the time being, you'd need to make your own fork.

@benbot I've just sent you an invite to give you access. Thanks for volunteering to maintain the project!

nicolodavis commented 2 months ago

@delucis I've noticed that you've merged a few PR's recently.

I'm not sure how much time you have these days, so just wanted to check: Would you be interested in working together with @benbot or would he be working as the primary maintainer?

As for me, I don't have time to be actively involved these days, but I'm available for general advice and occasional admin chores.

Hey @nicolodavis thats awesome thank you!

I'll start taking a look at the open PRs this week 🙂

delucis commented 1 month ago

Hey sorry for the slow reply — yeah, I also don’t really have time at the moment for active involvement unfortunately. Merged a couple of tiny PRs when I had a moment, but that’s about it.

I have been keeping the boardgame.io domain name renewed too (and submitting those expenses via https://opencollective.com/boardgameio), but that’s about all I’ve managed unfortunately.

Thanks for offering to help out @benbot!

@delucis Thanks for doing the domain name renewals!

If you get tired of doing admin tasks like renewals, I'm happy to take over that.
