First of, I want to say that I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Anthony Grimes. He had a tremendous impact on all of us. Anthony will be missed, and the Clojure community will not be the same without him.
The reason for this letter is to start a discussion regarding tentacles, an OSS library of Anthony's for working with the GitHub API. And an effort to let the legacy of Anthony live on. We, CircleCI, use this library extensively; our entire business is built around the use of tentacles. We have come to a point where we want new features added to this library but are in a bit of a pickle. Sure, we could simply fork and release a new version as circleci/tentacles. Due to groupId restrictions of maven artifacts, we cannot release a version of tentacles/tentacles to clojars since we do not belong to the 'tentacles' group. But this feels wrong without first consulting the community. We want tentacles, and the legacy of Anthony, to live on. Our fear of a fork is that there may be many forks, which will eventually lead to a diluted field of forks. This leads to the potential of diminishing the efforts Anthony put into making a fantastic piece of software. So, I want to open a discussion to the community, as to how we, the community, should proceed.
