I only became aware of this conversation yesterday; hopefully no one was looking for my reply earlier…
Anthony was a friend, but our project activity was quite separate. I think we had a couple of PRs on each other's projects, but that's about it. I don't think I have any particular authority in this area, either. In any case, I don't have any bandwidth atm for increasing my involvement in general-purpose OSS stuff. I'd suggest that anyone with an important dependency on one of Anthony's projects push them forward independently. At least, don't wait for or rely upon other volunteers to coordinate these sorts of things. If there end up being multiple forks, etc., that'll work out over time. Especially if you represent a ~trusted organization (CircleCI being a reasonable example), and are accommodating of others' use cases within reason (i.e. act like a sane maintainer), then I suspect others will follow your lead. The clojars/maven coordinate question is stickier. The clojars folks might have general policy, and maybe they've addressed this particular situation elsewhere. But, this is an excellent object lesson in how the organization/project-name convention is a *good thing*, in contrast to effectively single-level namespace coordinates like tentacles/tentacles. IMO, a com.circleci/tentacles artifact in clojars would be a far better direction; it puts multiple forks (if they end up being necessary) on equal footing, and properly reflects the divergence in maintenance. Thanks for picking up where Anthony left off, - Chas On Thursday, January 26, 2017 at 7:41:46 PM UTC-5, Alex Miller wrote: > > I have no authority to speak on this, but I think it would be nice to see > a consensus fork managed by some one or ones with a vested interest in it. > (I also have used tentacles off and on.) > > Maybe another option would be to create a github org of some people that > can act as admins.
