Contribute to nix-community?

[JamieMagee]

I started working on a similar project over the weekend (JamieMagee/vscode-nix), and I just discovered your project as well! I don't really want to duplicate any effort, so I think I should contribute to your extension instead.

I was wondering if you would consider re-homing your extension to nix-community and maintaining it there? There was an ask to do this on the existing extension (bbenoist/vscode-nix#6), but the maintainer there appears to be missing. I think that with your extension, the community could more easily contribute (I know I would) and it would be more discoverable for Nix users.

What do you think?

cc: @grahamc as you initially suggested the idea on the other extension

[jnoortheen]

Sure. How should I start it?

[JamieMagee]

Let's wait and see what Graham's response is.

[JamieMagee]

@jnoortheen I asked in the nix forum https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-vscode-extension/9117

[jnoortheen]

I think the core developers mainly use emacs and not concentrating much on other editors. the language server looks great though.

[JamieMagee]

True, but I think there are clearly people who would be interested in this and we should be meeting users where they are, with their own tools, instead of forcing other tools onto them.

[grahamc]

Sounds like a good idea :) I'll cc nix-community

@JamieMagee @jnoortheen I sent you both an invite. One of you can move over the repo. Than I will create a team with both of you in.

[JamieMagee]

@Mic92 Thanks! I've accepted the invite. I would recommend migrating @jnoortheen's repo, as it's further along in development than the one I created.

[jnoortheen]

I am transfering the repo.

[jnoortheen]

moved the repo.

Thanks @JamieMagee @Mic92

PR welcome for Language Server feature.

[Mic92]

I moved you both in a team where you can do maintain the repo.

[jnoortheen]

@Mic92
I need to set some secrets, to publish using GitHub actions. Also need to set main as the default branch and remove master.
Could you enable access for it?

[jnoortheen]

Any updates? @Mic92 I am not sure whom I could ping for this.

[Mic92]

@jnoortheen I increased the privileges to include admin rights. You should be now able to add secrets. Otherwise ping @Mic92 on IRC in #nix-community

[Mic92]

I changed the default branch from master to main.

[jnoortheen]

I changed the default branch from master to main.

Thanks. I will check it this weekend.
