New Maintainer Wanted #62

Closed maelle closed 1 year ago

maelle commented 1 year ago

Or new maintainer team. :smile_cat:

The following issues would need to be solved

If you're interested, please comment in the issue. For more info, see

Cc @andysouth @ropensci/admin @z3tt

khufkens commented 1 year ago

Will look into #60 as I use the package too often and I'm doing the same for a number of my packages.

Won't take over maintenance as this is soulless task which provides little or no credit or joy for that matter.

FYI. ropensci should invest more in this instead of the user facing component IMO. No maintainer = no software = no users

I do not mind giving a hand :)

opus1993 commented 1 year ago

How can I help?

maelle commented 1 year ago

@khufkens thanks a lot for #63!

@PMassicotte @opus1993 Thank you! Do you want write access to the repository to review and merge @khufkens' PR to begin with? Does one of you want to become the maintainer (you could be co-maintainers as well)?

maelle commented 1 year ago

@defuneste thanks for your contribution in #63! Are you interested in contributing further?

PMassicotte commented 1 year ago

I do not mind being a maintainer or being part of the maintainer team :)

defuneste commented 1 year ago

Hi @maelle Thank a lot for your work for Ropensci! I do not think I have the skills to do that , I am slowly reading R packages and the Ropensci rOpenSci Packages book. If you are aware of some "mentor ship" or a way to learn/observe from experienced user I will be interested.

maelle commented 1 year ago

@defuneste Ok, thank you! You might be interested in some of the packages looking for co-maintainers https://ropensci.org/blog/2022/10/17/maintain-or-co-maintain-an-ropensci-package/#packages-looking-for-co-maintainers or the issues labelled help-wanted https://ropensci.org/help-wanted/

(I'll then hide your and my comment as off-topic :-) )

Hi @PMassicotte @defuneste @khufkens @maelle

Many thanks for your help and offers. Apologies I have been quiet. I haven't been working in this area for a little while and I was struggling to keep up. Also my package workflows are rusty !

@PMassicotte would you like to take over as primary maintainer and I can help out as needed ? It would be much appreciated.

andysouth commented 1 year ago

Hello @mps9506 You've been really good at responding to issues (better than me). I wonder if you might want to contribute to package maintenance in future and be mentioned as such ?

PMassicotte commented 1 year ago

Hi @andysouth that would be a great pleasure! Let me know how you want to make it work :)

Cheers, Phil

andysouth commented 1 year ago

Thanks @PMassicotte Philippe, Would you be OK to take on the submission to CRAN ? I can indicate you as the maintainer and perhaps @maelle can give you write access to the repo ? Andy

maelle commented 1 year ago

@andysouth I've even given admin access to @PMassicotte as we do these days for maintainers. :-)

andysouth commented 1 year ago

Many thanks @maelle :-)

PMassicotte commented 1 year ago

Should we first submit the current version as it solve broken URLs?

andysouth commented 1 year ago

Seems like a good idea :-) Unless people come back strongly and quickly with responses to #65. I'm just about to merge the PR.

defuneste commented 1 year ago

@andysouth No need or me and thx for the package!

mps9506 commented 1 year ago

@andysouth happy to assist as needed. 👍🏽
