Add language: Robot Framework
kalyncoose opened this issue · comments
Hello, I'd like to help contribute and add the Robot Framework language. Should I start by creating a monorepo for RobotFramework cheats? I think Robot Framework could be added using the Prefix rf/ since robotframework/ is too long. Additionally, there are 6,000+ questions in StackOverflow with the tag [robotframework]. I did read the README and CONTRIBUTING file, I am just wondering what the current preference is on how to contribute since I read this quote:
Instead of creating yet another mediocre cheat sheet repository, we are concentrating our efforts on creation of a unified mechanism to access selected existing well developed and good maintained cheat sheet repositories covering topics of our interest: programming and operating systems usage.
So I checked one of the existing sources Learn X in Y Minutes and it does not have Robot Framework yet. Do you want me to contribute to their repository first? Edited: See my reply below
Upon further investigation, it looks like Learn X in Y Minutes is an abandoned repository. Only two active contributors in the past year (very few merged PRs). Also has issues with PR spam according to the author here. I believe contributing to their repository would be worthless. So that leaves me with the option to create my own repository for Robot Framework cheats, if you agree with that idea.
@kalyncoose if you will volunteer to review at least one PR weekly, maybe guys won't mind adding you as a maintainer.
Now, if Hacktoberfest could incentivize people to review and manage PRs it would be a different story!
@abitrolly I think you misunderstood me, I don't want to become a maintainer - just a contributor. What do you want me to do?
@kalyncoose understood. I just proposed an option to avoid maintaining your own repository.
@abitrolly Thanks. I'll figure it out sometime.
