Open caniszczyk opened 4 years ago
Maybe it's worth reaching our to Prisma about their GraphQL Weekly newsletter?
@Urigo I think it's a great idea. AFAIK it's currently maintained by Novvum guys and they are members of the foundation.
@IvanGoncharov do you know their Github usernames? Can you tag them here?

Hey @Urigo! Yes! We have been a bit understaffed lately, so haven't had much time to update it, but shouldn't take much to flip it over to the foundation. How should we proceed with this?
@rajinwonderland that's amazing and extremely generous!!
I think @brianwarner & @caniszczyk should follow with next steps?
Sweet! We'll be glad to help in anyway possible 👍
Yep! Raj, I'll connect with you separately.
We have started a monthly newsletter draft here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14ZwpLnIuiSnHfD0zSb2gLoC30MirG1LHlpcF3LFsPFM/edit?ts=5f4fbf18
The idea is to do this in the open completely and get feedback from folks before posting.
I was working on the Tagged type RFC just earlier today as it happens. Can I suggest text a little more like this? (Feel free to add links/styles/brevity/otherwise edit as appropriate.)
This is an RFC for a new "Tagged" type to be added to GraphQL, to help address the input polymorphism feature gap. Originally proposed as the @oneField
directive, the Tagged type has evolved into an entire new type in the type system, and is currently the lead proposal from the Input Unions Working Group.
A Tagged type defines a list of named member fields each with an associated type (like the fields in Object and Input Object types); but with the stipulation that exactly one of these fields must be present (no more, no less). Depending on the types of the member fields, a Tagged type could be appropriate for input, output, or both, which is proving to be quite controversial; it's possible that the tagged type might be scoped to input only before release. The Tagged type was most recently introduced to the GraphQL Working Group in August and is undergoing feedback and revision before an expected update with the working group in October or November.
If you have use-cases for input polymorphism, please take a look - feedback is very welcome.
Separately, can I suggest re-ordering of the items.
@caniszczyk A few suggestions from me:
@deferer & @stream
. Here is their talk about it from recent GraphQLSummit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icv_Pq06aOYThank you @caniszczyk for the update!
Also adding @acao to share more work from GraphiQL and stuff
also - can we add a place to accumulate things between newsletters? like a backlog? or we could just use this issue as a backlog?
Hey @Urigo 👋
I think @brianwarner most likely had a conversation with @rohit-ravikoti.
If there's anything I can answer though, I'd be happy to! But I think Rohit might have more context
Hi All - I will be putting the blog together each month and your feedback and contributions are extremely helpful. Keep it up!
@benjie Thanks for the re-order and the updated text
@IvanGoncharov Great stuff. Thanks for contributing
@Urigo - We plan to publish ASAP and the cadence will be monthly. Given the Sept WG meeting just ocured the next one will post sooner, but in general it'll be a monthly cadence.
Happy to add more info on projects. That would be great. They just need to be supplied to me and we will add them.
All of your feedback and contributions has been added to the blog. Let me know if we are missing anything. otherwise we will get this posted early next week! https://docs.google.com/document/d/14ZwpLnIuiSnHfD0zSb2gLoC30MirG1LHlpcF3LFsPFM/edit?ts=5f46a3be#
thank you @mayaptos ! I've added a couple of suggestion to the doc itself.
and I still hope that @acao will get to add his updates as well, but I can't add them myself
another question - on which channels will you spread the newsletter? and how can people subscribe? Will you use the official social accounts to promote it?
1) we will post to the blog here https://foundation.graphql.org/news/ 2) we will setup a newsletter form using an internal LF system (we have marketing cloud behind the scenes) 3) yes, we'd love too!
The goal is to start doing this every month and solicit input from the community
Hi everyone!
In order to increase the spread of this important newsletter, Prisma has agreed to also publish those updates under the GraphQL Weekly newsletter as well!
Together with @chenkie from Prisma, I helped take the first edition they published and merge all the previous editions we've published till now into one.
Check it out here: https://www.graphqlweekly.com/issues/209/#content
This is a first try, please review and give your feedback so we could further improve it and make sure it follows our required guidelines.
Thanks @Urigo ! Could we get a link back to the newsletter. I don't see one on the Graph weekly site
@mayaptos yes I saw that now, in looks different on the newsletter itself and I've mentioned it to @chenkie.
He said they are working on it, @chenkie could you give on update about that when you'll get a chance?
In the meantime, I'll try to put here some screenshots from the actual newsletter here for review:
another issue was that they could current only have one link per items and not links in the texts. I hope they could improve on that as well soon because it helped create better context.
Outstanding items that I'm working on to round out the GraphQL Weekly Foundation Edition newsletter:
@caniszczyk What should be the next steps? Maybe it's worth reaching our to Prisma about their GraphQL Weekly newsletter?
They've done great work there but it seems to be a bit slow recently and maybe collaborating on that could be a good idea?
