Disband #ssb-js and move to #ssbc?
cc @arj @mixmix @Christian Bundy (probably not opening SSB anymore) and @SoapDog (Macbook Air) (ex-member of the org)
Problem
Back in the days, @Christian Bundy proposed the ssb-js GitHub org for core SSB libraries built in JavaScript. There are a few repos there, and designated maintainers.
However, the governance of these repos was clearly dependent on Christian Bundy, since after he left, nothing has really changed. E.g. we were supposed to have different maintainers for specific repos every year, but the list got stuck with 2020 maintainers. It wasn't updated in 2021 and neither in 2022.
Without Christian Bundy, it doesn't seem like current org members are trying to actively aware of the governance rules and carrying them out. Then on the other hand, ssbc
seems to have more popularity and history, so people remember it more than they remember ssb-js
. Additionally, we have equally important JS repos under ssbc
, so if someone wants to find "SSB JavaScript repos", they might look into ssbc
and be surprised to not find ssb-keys
, muxrpc
, etc.
Proposal
Move all ssb-js
repos to ssbc
and disband/delete ssb-js
. I find it valuable to centralize our libraries in one GH org, making it easier to create rules for one GH org than to manage multiple orgs, and making it easier to find libraries since there's just one search field.
What do ssb-js members say?
