Contributor access

[jugutier]

Hi @frostney just seeing that this repo got quite some attention after I added it on the official react native documentation maybe it would help for me to put some time on managing PRs & keeping it up to date?

Couldn't find your email anywhere but you should see mine in my Github profile. Please let me know if having me as a contributor on this repo & NPM is something that you'd be open to :)

@jugutier - I would be happy to add you but I don't have the rights. @maicki and I can review and merge pull requests though.

We have been waiting for @frostney to publish a new version to NPM - #78 - or get access to do it ourselves.

I just published create-react-native-module, based on this project, with very basic view component support added as an option. Contributions would be welcome.

@jugutier - I really don't think that the official react native documentation about making native module should point to this repository as 1) the author is unobtainable, 2) he didn't grant access to people willing to maintain the project. It will be really frustrating for devs going through official documentation that should be trustworthy to stuck in the middle of the process and find out after some digging that the cli tool is basically dead and buggy. It makes React Native look unprofessional. Also less experienced devs or iOS/Android devs new to JS ecosystem would end up wasting a whole lot of time before they grasp what's going on.

@woyhat - I agree we should have a repo up to date and there’s many changes we would like to see in this initial structure.

@frostney - would you be able to grant some of us admin access here?

We can look into our own fork if need be.

I have been publishing brodybits/create-react-native-module with some up-to-date changes including recent PRs such as #102, #104, and #105.

I hope we can converge together on an updated project somehow.

In case we do not hear back from @frostney, I can think of the following alternatives:

• I would be happy to grant collaborator access to my fork and the package I published.
• We can also request publishing access to react-native-create-library according to https://www.npmjs.com/policies/disputes.
• We can always use another package name if needed.

In any case I think we should express our appreciation to @frostney for contributing this nice package for the rest of us.
