Yep, fragments was rewritten in rust. I'd definitely appreciate help with
updating it if you are interested!

In any case, I'd like to figure out the GNOME + rust packages story. Right
now when someone mentions that something was rewritten in rust, that sounds
a lot like a death sentence for the Fedora package. I don't think it should
be like that; and I'd like to fix that.

I guess for that we have two options: either package up a critical mass of
rust crates that GNOME rust modules are likely going to use, or
alternatively come up with a good guide and rules on how to correctly
bundle rust crates in leaf apps.


And as far as I know, gnome-feeds was superseded by newsflash? Which

Ah, could be -- I only picked it up so it wouldn't get removed from Fedora
as it seemed like a useful thing and I didn't want to let Artem's good work
go to waste. It does seem to be getting some attention upstream still
though: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/gfeeds

Just to be clear, I don't use either fragments nor gnome-feeds, which is
why I'd love co-maintainers :) I only picked them up to avoid them getting
axed immediately.
