consider publishing to the Open VSX Registry

[thomasdziedzic]

I recently migrated from windows to archlinux. One of the first things I installed was an opensource build of vscode. The first thing I did was search for the erlang plugin but to my surprise, I didn't see it, although I did see elixir there so I installed it. I finished investigating why I'm not seeing erlang, and this is because the default registry on archlinux for the code package is OpenVSX. The explanation can be found at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Visual_Studio_Code#Extensions_support but the tldr is that it's against the terms of service to use microsoft's registry with only microsoft's vscode builds.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Thomas,

a version is published : https://open-vsx.org/extension/pgourlain92/erlang I'm trying to claim the 'pgourlain' namespace. So in the meantime I publish on 'pgourlain92'

Thanks for uploading to the openvsx registry so quickly! I was able to install your erlang extension successfully!
