Remote-ftp: Project needs new collaborators

[Leykis]

Just a heads up to anyone who is expecting to receive replies on their issues, this project is definitely dead it seems.

[dallanlee]

"definitely" and "it seems" … hmm That's an oxymoron. Do you care to elaborate why you _think_ this? Maybe you're being a little impatient.

[dogweather]

Yeah, I've got to agree about the state of the project:

Source: Repocheck

I'm debating adding some features to this project (which is working well for me so far), or just using another.

[dallanlee]

@dogweather Well, that's unfortunate. I came to this repo only a few months ago after searching out the options and I felt this was the best, at least at the time. Maybe someone could revive it… But if you do choose another project, please let us know which.

[dogweather]

@dallanlee I forked this repo and tried out a code change I'd wanted: opening a file on a single-click, like the standard file tree does. Not too hard to implement.

But I've found a totally different setup that works well: Using the Transmit Disk feature to mount my remote Linux volume, and then running Atom on it in standard "local" mode. This has been very reliable and fast.

[dallanlee]

Thanks for the info, @dogweather

From time to time I try to look after the PRs but I don't really have time for the project since I am not using Atom actively anymore...
I would like to add new collaborators but only @mgrenier is capable of doing that...
e.g. @jimmaaay would be a good new collaborator

[dallanlee]

@jpxd What are you using instead of Atom?

[phawxby]

Same issue. Now using Visual Studio code since a change of environment so don't have time to manage this.

[grenierdev]

Well, I still use the plugin everyday, works for my needs and don't plan to put more time than I already have.

I'm definitly a noob at open source project or github and if you know how can I elect a new lead, please do tell me. Also, I don't know if contributors can push update to the Atom Package repository?

[jimmaaay]

@jpxd Thanks for the recommendation :)

[jpxd]

@mgrenier Yes, collaborators can publish new releases :)
And I'm using Visual Studio Code too ^^

[phawxby]

So I guess the question is then, who wants to assist with this project? Put your name forward, quick check to make sure you can actually program then @mgrenier can add additional collaborators

[jpxd]

I suggest

@jimmaaay: sends nice PRs and seems to have an understanding of the codebase

@hatzopoulos: seems to read the issues and could close duplicates himself if he was a collaborator

[grenierdev]

@jimmaaay and @hatzopoulos are invited and it's on their hand to accept the position or not.

If others comes forward and want to help the project, I'll invite them too.

[jimmaaay]

@mgrenier Thanks for the invite, I accepted it a second ago :)

[hatzopoulos]

Thanks for the suggestion @jpxd.

@jimmaaay and @hatzopoulos are invited and it's on their hand to accept the position or not.

@mgrenier Sure, I don't mind helping out.

[samifouad]

@mgrenier @jpxd It's been a while since I've maintained my own open source project, but I don't mind volunteering my time to help this project out with bug fixes, issue tracking, & feature requests.

[jpxd]

@mgrenier give @samifouad collaborator access?

[grenierdev]

@samifouad has been invited to this project. Thank you for your time and interest all.

[samifouad]

I gladly accept. Thanks! :)

[hatzopoulos]

Fantastic. I think this project is in good hands.
