[discussion] Move messytables to its own organization #56

Closed domoritz closed 11 years ago

domoritz commented 11 years ago

This should be considered to encourage more people to contribute to messytables.

@frabcus, @paulfurley, @rgrp @pudo @davidread opinions?

Organization at: https://github.com/organizations/messytables

Can't see the point, and not sure why it would make more people contribute. Why not just leave it in OKFN?

domoritz commented 11 years ago

@rossjones Well, I don't have any strong opinions about this but I could imagine that a separate organization could show that messytables is not just used by the OKFN.

@domoritz like @rossjones I'm a strong -1 on moving this and think it could just stay here. We've now discussed this in several cases and the benefits seem minimal compared to hassle (you can always have a dedicated team if you need permissions).

On point about use I think for that you just want something in the README or docs. What about booting an issue for that - i.e. list users of messytables.

domoritz commented 11 years ago

Okay, great. Let's keep messytables here then. I'll create a team when it becomes necessary but leave everything as it is for now.

Created #57 to list messytables users somewhere in the wiki or the readme.
