Looking for new maintainer about eventsource HOT 8 CLOSED

@aslakhellesoy great job so far!

Thanks! Maybe @rexxars is interested? (Found this old tweet)

Hey! I'd be interested in helping/taking over, yeah. Do you have any particular goals/design principles in mind?

from eventsource.

Thanks @rexxars - much appreciated!

I want to give whomever takes it over freedom to refactor freely; Design, what language features to use, formatting etc - that's your call.

Some goals/principles off the top of my head:

Be conservative

If you allow non-standard extensions to the W3C API, only do so if it cannot be done easily with a wrapper around the library. That's why I rejected #65 for example.

Dependency free

Not sure the original -> url-parse dependency in there is strictly necessary!

Keep it working in browsers

Today I use the library as a browser polyfill as well as in Node. Would love to be able to do that in the future.

When I started writing this library 5 years ago my only use case was from Node.js. Then someone told me it worked as a browser polyfill after sending it through webpack. Better than other polyfills apparently. A mention at http://caniuse.com/#search=eventsource would be nice - I think they take PRs for docs.

Reject contributions without tests

If there is a bug, prove it with a failing test in one commit. Then fix it in the next commit.

Keep it open

I've been the bottleneck preventing PRs from being merged. Don't let that happen to you. I recommend setting up a GitHub organisation, and hand out commit bits liberally. Anyone who's got a PR merged gets the commit bit. I've yet to see people abuse this.

Sounds pretty in line with what I was hoping for. I set up a new organization under the EventSource name and invited you as owner. Let me know if you want me to do anything specific. I'd need full repository access along with npm publishing rights.

Thanks for setting up the org. I've moved it. Also created a Contributors team (with commit bit) and added everyone in the network.

I'll add you to npm next @rexxars

from eventsource.

I've added you @rexxars with npm owner add rexxars eventsource. I tried to set up an npm team with npm team create eventsource:owners, but kept getting 401s, so we'll do without npm teams I guess.

Anything else you need from me?

from eventsource.

Thanks, @aslakhellesoy
I think that should be enough for now. I'll see if I can find some time to review the currently waiting PRs within the week.
