Hello y’all! I’ve taken over clj-http-lite at some point but don’t really have time to manage incoming contributions (which are mostly minor but they slip through my todo list again and again). Would this be a project that would fit into clj-commons?

seancorfield17:11:07

Ah, I didn't realize that originated from my team mate and was originally forked from clj-http itself.

seancorfield17:11:28

Is it worth maintaining at all? Would it be better to encourage folks to use the built-in HttpClient, perhaps via the Hato wrapper?

seancorfield17:11:22

Given the volume of downloads that clojars shows, I think clj-http-lite qualifies under https://github.com/clj-commons/meta#entry-criteria as long as someone is willing to step up as official maintainer under clj-commons.

borkdude17:11:01

It’s come up before but I’m also maintaining a fork of clj-http-lite which works bb. I’d be happy to merge that back and maintain it in clj-commons

seancorfield17:11:38

@borkdude Thank you! @slipset @danielcompton any input on this? (TZs may make it take a several hours to get feedback)

martinklepsch17:11:15

@borkdude I added you as a collaborator

slipset17:11:11

I'd be all for having clj-commons adopt it.

danielcompton18:11:01

Sounds good to me!

seancorfield18:11:39

@martinklepsch The next step would be to transfer the repo to clj-commons I believe -- and we'll need to think about the group ID for future versions.

seancorfield18:11:07

If you can add folks to the org.martinklepsch group, they can publish on your behalf but you may not want to do that (understandably)...

slipset20:11:03

I’d argue from a marketing point of view (and perhaps usability as well) that it is better to publish under org.clj-commons

borkdude20:11:08

I agree that it's better to move it to commons

borkdude20:11:31

and also publish it under the clj-commons org

seancorfield21:11:28

I agree, but wanted to give Martin the option. There are multiple forks of that library published to clojars under different group IDs already 😕
