Community information on vinyl ecosystem and vinyl adapters

[Marak]

Hello.

Very nice project. Had something very similar to this a few years back that was unfortunately shut-down / not open-sourced.

Is there a central location or wiki to list / discover new adapters for Vinyl? Is there a development plan / timeline / wishlist for new adapters? Is there a contribution doc for creating adapters?

Searching npm I have found:

https://github.com/wearefractal/vinyl-fs https://github.com/nkostelnik/gulp-s3 https://github.com/jden/node-vinyl-github https://github.com/floatdrop/vinyl-git https://github.com/doowb/vinyl-dat

Are there more adapters?

This might be a good thing to loop into the gulp plugin site. Thoughts?

I really want there to be a full S3 adapter. Dropbox would also be cool.

Currently there isn't a central place where we list all of the available adapters, but I'd be open to putting it all on the README of this project so we can point people to it

README sounds like a good start.

Dropbox adapter is important. With dropbox or s3 you could pipe vinyl into http.Server and serve static web content directly from cloud storage.

@Marak Yep it is super important - I think more adapters is the next growth area for the ecosystem now that basically all plugin needs are met. I wrote some stuff about it all here https://medium.com/@eschoff/gulp-3828e8126466

https://github.com/gtg092x/gulp-sftp/ contains example of using SFTP.

vinyl-sftp seems like it might be useful.
