best way to collate user's new stitches #2

Closed Neon22 closed 4 years ago

Neon22 commented 4 years ago

Many people seem to have added their own stitches (with varying degrees of success) to the stitch library. Works me for me too BTW and I'd like to document the process for others to follow. Should I use the Wiki ?

What do you recommend as the best way for users to contribute sets that might end up in the product when a new compile is made. I can see crochet.xml has the list of stitches from that directory. so pull requests adding entries to that file and new files in stitches is legit. but currently no pull request submitted even though there are two forks showing in the network...

But what about the middle ground (requiring no new compilation) where sets could be collected. Could a new git or sub(?) git be made where people could add new sets and thereby download those sets to manually add to their local copies...

What do you think ?

I've been trying to post a set file on ravelry but there is bigbyte encoding inside and I can't just post a file as text. This will make it difficult to submit because its really a binary format file with some readable text in it.

OK. I have started a new repo for holding sets. Has a workflow. Will announce on Ravelry once tested a bit more:

The link now also includes a set of replacement stitches and how to upgrade them. Closing
