Unfork repo #35

Closed sandstrom closed 5 years ago

sandstrom commented 5 years ago

Looks like this is the new canonical repo. If so, we should unfork it. Just send a message to Github and ask them to unfork this repo, they'll do it.

Would also be good if we could start publishing gems from here. Would need to ask @nathansobo for the keys, or if we somehow can transfer the gem name. I honestly don't know exactly how that works 😄

I have been publishing the gem since 2007 when Nathan gave me the key, and from this repository since it was created.

Why should we unfork?

If this is the canonical repo, it makes sense to unfork. Clarity around which which is canonical will help people focus issues/contributions/PRs to the right repo.

(if gems are already published from this repo I don't think we should change anything around that, my misunderstanding!)

What is unclear about the README.md on https://github.com/nathansobo/treetop ? What is unclear about the homepage listed on https://rubygems.org/gems/treetop ? I don't want to cut ties from Nathan Sobo's original work. I've only tweaked it, I didn't write it. I don't think it makes sense to unfork.

I think it's better to unfork and leave credits in the readme. A lot of people will just instinctively assume that a forked repo isn't the canonical repo. There are tons of examples on Github where people (1) put links up pointing to the new repo (which you've already done) and (2) unfork from the original repo.

Obviously your decision since this is your repo. I'm just making a humble suggestion. 😄
