Transfer

[kud1ing]

I'd like to handover the repository to someone else.
@steveklabnik, @nasa42 maybe you have a suggestion.

I'd love it if it could stay:

• useful
• clutter-free
• sorted
• single page
• uncommercial

I'd love it if it gained (automatic) QA to ensure:

• working links
• consistent format
• removing stale projects

[steveklabnik]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'll give it some thought.

Why not let rustlang organisation handle it?

[aturon]

@Freyskeyd Even if we head that direction, it still needs leadership and helping hands.

[Freyskeyd]

@aturon I would imagine some self driven repository. Maybe a little group can create with influential people and use the Rust weekly newsletter (like https://this-week-in-rust.org/).

The point about QA is interesting, we need to automate this kind of stuff.

[nasa42]

I've planned to deprecate a related project - libs.rs in favour of upcoming recommendation ranking (and categories) feature in crates.io. I think with these features, crates.io may also supersede awesome-rust.

[aturon]

@Freyskeyd My point is that we need people to commit to the effort if it's going to happen. There are several rust-lang repos that are languishing due to lack of leadership bandwidth.

@nasa42 That would only replace the section "Libraries", wouldn't it?

[booyaa]

Once the caretakers have been found, I'm sure it could live here in rust-unofficial org? i.e. rust-unofficial/too-many-lists or rust-unofficial/patterns.

I'm willing to put my hat in for the interim, it would be a shame to see this resource get bitrot.

[nasa42]

@nasa42 That would only replace the section "Libraries", wouldn't it?

A short preliminary review suggests that pretty much everything except "IDEs" section is a crate (though not all may exist on crates.io).

FWIW https://github.com/rust-unofficial is a holding yard for things that need maintainers, and is somewhat maintained (accepting PRs and such) by various folks in the community.

We'd be happy to accept this repo and partially maintain it, but we probably can't make major improvements/etc. If there are folks who want to help we can add them to the org.

[Freyskeyd]

I'm interested in helping on awesome-rust but not as a main maintainer in fact..

[luciusmagn]

I would love to help in any way. I am not sure if I would be a good main maintainer, but as a last resort, I would be open to anything.

[booyaa]

Looks like there's three volunteers (me, @Freyskeyd and @luciusmagn). I'm happy to be the main maintainer.

[Manishearth]

Come to think of it, if @booyaa and I both want to help, it's worth considering just moving this to the rust-community org and making it officially-unofficially maintained by the community team. Whatsay @erickt?

[Freyskeyd]

@Manishearth that's what I was thinking too
