Move to central organisation?
manuelmeurer opened this issue · comments
Hi!
I am the maintainer of three gems similar to this one that make it easier to use Twitter Bootstrap in Ruby projects (https://github.com/krautcomputing/rails-bootstrap-navbar, https://github.com/krautcomputing/bootstrap-navbar, https://github.com/krautcomputing/middleman-bootstrap-navbar).
I was thinking about moving all those gems to a separate organisation (like "bootstrap-ruby") and wanted to get some feedback from other maintainers of similar gems (and the community at large) if that makes sense and if we could use this to make it easier for people to find gems to work with Bootstrap in Ruby (Rails, Sinatra, etc.)
I think it would also invite other people to contribute to those projects if they were united in a central organisation.
What do you think?
Would you be willing to move this repo to such an organisation as well?
I'd certainly be open to the idea.
Great! I'll set up the organisation in the next couple of days and let you know!
Hi @yrgoldteeth,
I sent this suggestion of moving Bootstrap Ruby projects to a central organisation to many different projects at once. One of the first to respond was @nickpad who also maintains a gem to integrate will_paginate with Bootstrap, which we quickly moved to https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/will_paginate-bootstrap
Since the organisation should be a curated collection of tools, I don't think there should be two "competing" gems in there who have pretty much the same functionality.
Would you maybe be willing to merge your gem with bootstrap-ruby/will_paginate-bootstrap? I think a lot could be gained from that and now that it's in this central organisation, it would be easier to find more contributors.
Let me know what you think!
