clj-commons

Hey folks, anything we can do to merge https://github.com/zk/clojuredocs/pull/246? I saw some comments mentioning about moving to clj-commons which sounds good to me as well

ericdallo 2023-07-05T13:25:27.329839Z

just saw https://github.com/clj-commons/meta/issues/73

that's up to @zk who isn't active on slack and has been mostly absent on github for the last 2 years. i think moving clojuredocs to clj-commons would be good but he hasn't seemed interested

I took a quick look and couldn't find it easily what clojuredocs does that a Github Pages + actions could not do it, like is there a DB or some statefull resource?

2023-07-05T13:30:56.199969Z

Yeah, there's the examples, see-also, notes, etc system

I see, at emacs-lsp we used a plugin that uses Github discussions for comments and works like a charm, https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/tutorials/how-to-turn-off/

ericdallo 2023-07-05T13:32:08.272409Z

but yeah, there is more

I bet if we had it under clj-commons and open to receive funding/donations we could afford it, but we would need to do the first step before

slipset 2023-07-05T13:52:34.189059Z

Given that the funding needed to run it isn’t huge (it would surprise me if it were) I can probs cover it.

2023-07-05T13:52:57.629579Z

i would also contribute, i have money to spare for such a resource.

ericdallo 2023-07-05T13:53:43.394649Z

Me too :) That's nice to hear! so sounds like we could start discussing how to give the next step, fork, check license, send one more message to @zk etc

I can probs set up a clj-commons and account (if that’s what’s needed) and the we figure out the rest?

ericdallo 2023-07-05T13:59:47.293969Z

Sounds like a good start @slipset!

FYI - I just sent an email to ZK. Will attempt to get in touch with him regarding this.

Seems like (from perusing the repo) that this thing runs on Heroku. So perhaps that’s the way to go? Otherwise, more work, but it seems like this should be implementable in just github as well, but I guess that would be a full rewrite.

ericdallo 2023-07-05T19:22:14.245809Z

Yeah, agreed, we can go with heroku, easier than setup whole CI for aws

ericdallo 2023-07-05T19:22:22.998479Z

We can migrate later

slipset 2023-07-05T19:25:58.548399Z

But I think it’s imperative that we get in contact with @zk I guess he also owns the domain, and it would be kind’a sad if we had to start this up under a different domain name and such.

ericdallo 2023-07-05T19:37:56.414679Z

yeah, I think we can wait a little bit more to check if @zk answer the email

I traded emails with Zach today. He's away on vacation until 7/18 but is going to take a look when he gets back.

Clojurists Together would be happy to fund this kind of infrastructure (I say without having seen the server bills…)
