Project status?

[oakmac]

I'm curious about the future of this project / repo. As of Aug 2016, I see several months-old unmerged pull requests and no commit activity since Nov 2015.

parinfer.js has advanced substantially since it's initial release last year. I would love to see this project reflect those improvements and help draw Clojure(Script) / Lisp developers to VS Code. For reference, atom-parinfer has seen over 10,000 downloads since it's initial launch.

What are your plans for this project? Is there anything I can do to help advance this plugin?

I started this as a sample project when VS Code came out with extension support. The lack of support stems from the fact that I don't code in Lisp at all. Unfortunately I let those PRs fly by and because of that there is already another extension in the Marketplace:

This fork, by @narma, already seems to have the latest version from parinfer. Given the fact that @narma and you seem passionate about it, I'd gladly remove my extension from the Marketplace, close this repository and let you guys run a fork of it as the main project.

What do you say?

[narma]

Works for me :)

@joaomoreno Things like stars and watchers aren't carried over! Could you merge @narma's changes upstream and transfer ownership rather than closing the repo?

[oakmac]

I'd gladly remove my extension from the Marketplace, close this repository and let you guys run a fork of it as the main project.

This seems like a simple path forward.

re: @shaunlebron: Losing GitHub stars and watchers (and losing the Microsoft name from this repo) are downsides to this approach, but I think install base is probably the more important concern. From the screenshot above, @narma's fork already has a sizeable lead over this repo.

[shaunlebron]

To save the stars/watchers, just transfer ownership at the bottom of the settings menu for the repo. That will move the repo from Microsoft's github org to narma's account:

[joaomoreno]

Yeah let's

1. Transfer the repository
2. Remove joaomoreno.parinfer from the Marketplace

That way you guys keep both the Github and Marketplace stardom.

Thanks a lot for picking it up!

[joaomoreno]

Got two errors:

narma/vscode-parinfer already exists and You can only transfer a repository from an organization to yourself at this time

The first seems easy to fix; the second not so much. So, we'll just have to close this repo, agree?

[shaunlebron]

You can transfer to yourself and then to narma. But @narma will have to delete or rename his fork before the transfer.

[joaomoreno]

Cool, did the first move. Waiting on @narma.

[narma]

@joaomoreno Done!

[joaomoreno]

And done!

[narma]

@joaomoreno I don't see any changes

[shaunlebron]

yeah, still on your account @joaomoreno: https://github.com/joaomoreno/vscode-parinfer

[narma]

Oh, my bad. Didn't noticed email from github. It's done.
