Looking for maintaners

[leandrowd]

Hey everyone, as you can see, I haven't been able to respond to issues as quickly as I would like. Things are pretty busy and I don't have the time to dedicate to this project for now.

I'm looking for people to help on this. I can help with pull requests, questions and get those interested up to speed in an async way (basically exchanging messages through issues) but I won't be able to contribute any code or do any testing, at least in the coming months.

This component has around 15k downloads per month (from npm), 240+ stars and doesn't need much maintenance, but every now and then there is a bug to fix or a new feature to add or a new piece of documentation to write.

If you are interested, the easiest way to contribute is by submitting pull requests and answering questions from the community.

Thanks and regards

I'd love to help out. I'm really trying to find a good OSS project to get some experience out of.

If you're still looking for maintainers, would love to help out! Just started using this component in production, and it's been a dream to work with.

Hey guys, thanks for expressing interest in helping with this component.

We have a few bugs and feature requests on our issues tab. Feel free to jump on any of them and please assign it to yourself so we don't do the work twice.

Any bugfix or feature added should contain enough tests to prove it's working and prevent regressions.

If you don’t like something or think there is a better way of doing it, please create an issue to justify how it will add value to the users or developers of this component. Usually, a simple pros / cons list will be enough. We can discuss from there.

Feel free to throw in any question or suggestion, I want everyone to feel empowered as an owner of this project.

I've also created a gitter channel (https://gitter.im/react-responsive-carousel/Lobby). I will try to answer messages quickly but I'm afraid it can take a day or 2 sometimes. You can still meet each other there to chat and discuss…

Thanks again and any questions, please let me know.

Cheers,
Leandro

Hi @leandrowd I'm interested in helping out on at least one of the bugs and have a potential feature request that I could also implement - fade between images. Is this something you'd be interested in me adding to this project?

[leandrowd]

Hi @Trevomatic, that's great. Welcome!

Feel free to work on any of the bugs and suggest any features that would please you. As per your question, fade between images would be a nice addition.

Hey guys, thanks for showing interest and sorry for my absence here, I'm really out of time nowadays. For now, there is a bunch of issues open. Anyone interested could start by looking at them. I'll only be able to look at the pull requests this weekend. Everything that's ready will be merged and published. If you have questions, I'll be able to answer them during the weekend as well. Thanks again, Leandro

I’m happy too - though I have limited time I can still help reviews and testing and the occasional code

Im happie to help and contribute to this project

Hi everyone, the easiest way to help is to start answering issues or submitting pull requests with fixes. After a while, when you feel comfortable contributing, I can make you an official maintainer.

I will close this issue as this gives the impression that I'm coming here to answer everyone and the reality is that stuff is sitting here for weeks unanswered.
