help maintaining

[max-mapper]

I don't have the bandwidth to merge all the PRs and do gh-pages builds, would anyone else like to help?

[kaotikus]

Hey Max, I have done a few PRs and gh-pages builds. Really want to build competency, so if I you'd like a few hours per week, I'm willing to give a try.

[max-mapper]

woot inviting you. also anyone else feel free to comment on this issue if you'd like to help

[jluterek]

I'd be willing to help. Do you have guidance on criteria, process, etc.

[max-mapper]

@jluterek criteria is just that the PR supplies all the information (in the json file and svg) and doesn't accidentally break the site. the process after merging is here: https://github.com/maxogden/hexbin#for-maintainers

@kaotikus are you still on this? There are a few PRs waiting.

[kaotikus]

@xxorde I'm here and pruning.

@maxogden Thanks for a great resource! Are you still interested in additional maintainers? It would be great to get some of these PRs merged, and I'd be happy to help.

[max-mapper]

@pkq thanks, yes that would be great

[pkq]

You're most welcome! As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm curious how you feel about me making changes besides merging sticker PRs. Are you OK with changes to the README, general metadata cleanup, addressing issues, etc., or should I stick with merging in new stickers? Thanks again for this opportunity!

[max-mapper]

@pkq I'm OK if you do the stuff you mentioned, but i've seen in the past when people put lots of effort into e.g. changing javascript to coffeescript (or other subjective/opinionated code style changes) it ends up causing more discussion than it was worth. So I'd suggest trying to keep things simple. Thanks again for helping out

[pkq]

Thanks, @maxogden. To be clear, I'm definitely not interested in changing script style. I was thinking much simpler, more along the lines of standardizing field order, removing stale links, etc. Would you prefer those kinds of things as PRs, or are direct changes OK? I'm also curious what you think about possibly adding some additional meta-data fields (#199).

[hexagontruth]

Are you still looking for maintainers? I see that this project seems to have fallen silent for the past six months or so, and I would be interested in helping to get it going again.

[max-mapper]

@hexagrahamaton Yes that would be great. I'll invite you now

[max-mapper]

@hexagrahamaton just wanted to drop in and say you've been doing an awesome job, thanks for maintaining. if anyone else wants to help as well, feel free to reply to this thread

[hexagontruth]

thanks. i regretted it almost immediately lol.

[AndreaPaterlini]

Hi everyone! First of all thanks a lot for building up the amazing website and repository! I wanted to check if it is still being maintained as there are 40 pull requests pending (I am guilty of one of them)

[hexagontruth]

Sorry yes I will try to catch up on a few of these.
