Need help for maintenance?

[julien-f]

@evanw You have not been much available lately to answer/close/merge issues and PRs, do you need help maintaining this package?

Are there any other people willing to help? (cc @joeyespo, @marcominetti, @mprobst)

[mprobst]

I'd be happy to help, we'll use this package quite a bit with TypeScript
and Angular.

I had some ideas on how to improve this library, and even have custom code that works well in another project (full commit) for debugging front-end errors (accurate stack traces, ^, etc).

I was already planning on extracting this code into another library. It might be worth having here, in which case I'd be willing to help. On the other hand, this code downloads source from the server in order to print the line above the ^, so that may very well be outside the scope here. So the answer is maybe :-)

[julien-f]

@joeyespo I think it is also implemented in this module.

[marcominetti]

I'd be happy to help too... I'm currently maintaining it through my fork, but I'd prefer to join changes in here instead of duplicating... :)

[julien-f]

I propose we wait some time (2 weeks?) for @evanw to express his point of view, after what we could create a fork and maybe try to take the module name on npm.

[joeyespo]

@julien-f Nice! It wasn't working right at the time I implemented it. I'll try using purely this lib again.

[evanw]

Sure, help sounds great! My startup is very time-consuming and it's very hard for me to find time for my open-source stuff. I would definitely prefer to keep this library alive and centralize our efforts instead of causing fragmentation. Let me know how you want to proceed.

[julien-f]

I think you should start by adding all of us as collaborators on this repository to help you with issues triage and PRs merge, and keep the ownership of the npm package and the responsibility to make releases for now.

After a while you could share this responsibility too with the people you see the most fit.

[evanw]

Alright, there you go. I've added you as collaborators. Thanks for helping out.

[joeyespo]

Thanks, @evanw.

And nice job so far, @julien-f!

[julien-f]

@evanw It seems the project is still lagging and issues are rising, unfortunately I do not have the time much time to help. I think we should also release more often, to prevent users from waiting too much their fixes to be released and in doing.
What do you think about adding me as a maintainer on npmjs (disclaimer: it is a risk, I could steal the package, which I obviously won't do :p)?
It would also be great if I could be able to had new collaborators on the GitHub repo.

[julien-f]

@evanw Ping?

[evanw]

Whoops sorry, just saw this. Sounds great to me. What's your npm user info?

[julien-f]

julien-f, but we also needs more collaborators on this repository as I don't have the time to manage it by myself…

[evanw]

I looked but I didn't see a way to do that in GitHub's UI. Collaborators don't have configurable permissions. How do I do that?

[evanw]

Ok, you should be listed as an owner on npm now.

[julien-f]

I have no idea, I thought it was possible :/

I am afraid you will have to add them yourself, any volunteers? @LinusU @tugend, @AndreasMadsen?

[AndreasMadsen]

I have no idea, I thought it was possible :/

@evanw @julien As far as I know, owners can only be added in organizations.

I am afraid you will have to add them yourself, any volunteers?

Sorry, I won't have time to maintain something I don't use. But I'm happy to answer questions related to the v8 Error API and stack-chain.

[LinusU]

I was actually going to start use this again for a project, I'd be happy to help maintain. I'm linusu on npm.

[evanw]

Thanks @LinusU. I've added you on GitHub and npm.
