Change to using LibrePDF/OpenPDF as the "official" repository

Open bengolder opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

It seems like it would be good to point people to https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF as the most active version of OpenPDF.

Goals

  • Create a shared sense of ownership by putting OpenPDF under an organization
  • Release to Maven central from an organizational account
  • Centralize new contributions and improvements

Right now, this version (rtfarte/OpenPDF) appears as the most active. Here are the steps that I think it would take to make LibrePDF/OpenPDF more official:

  • [x] Enable issues on LibrePDF/OpenPDF.
  • [x] Changing the README on rtfarte/OpenPDF to direct contributors to LibrePDF/OpenPDF
  • [ ] Create a new Maven release from the new repository (LibrePDF/OpenPDF)
  • [x] Refer people to the LibrePDF/OpenPDF if they open issues on rtfarte/OpenPDF
  • [ ] Potentially migrate existing issues to the new repository.

Please comment here if you have any reservations about this plan, or if you'd like to add, remove or change it. Thanks.

One option could be that @rtfarte would transfer this repository to LibrePDF. That way the issues and associated forks would remain the same. Reference: https://help.github.com/articles/about-repository-transfers/

@jokimaki I think that would be ideal. @rtfarte you are already invited as a member of LibrePDF, so if you are interested in doing that, I can remove my fork and then it should be easy for you to transfer ownership.

I have updated the README in the rtfarte/OpenPDF repository.
