Help with maintainance

[addyosmani]

If you heavily use or have used grunt-usemin, we would like to ask if you might be interested in helping us maintain this task. As you can probably tell by the PR queue and questions about the project, it's used by many but needs active weekly review of threads and code we might like to land back to the project.

The rest of the Yeoman team are currently focusing on generators, docs and our next version of the project so any help at all would be hugely appreciated.

[sleeper]

Yes, sorry for that :(
Last months have been quite packed both in professional and personal world ...
Will try to merge some in the following days ;)

[halkeye]

I'll see what I can contribute, but I don't really use this module enough to feel like I could help with maintenance. I'll totally continue to submit PRs though.

[akinofftz]

Well, the project I've used usemin has been finished and I went to something new, but if there are bugs, I can look what I can do.

[addyosmani]

Thank you!

[addyosmani]

We've landed some necessary fixes to grunt-usemin and I've tagged the first release of it we've had in 6 months. Tests are passing but any help you can offer with trying out the latest build would be very useful.

[sindresorhus]

Just wanted to add that we're still looking for help managing this repo. Triaging issues, reviewing PRs, fixing things. Any help welcome :)

[stephanebachelier]

@sindresorhus I use usemin a lot. I will take a look at some issues to see if I can help. But no promises :/

[donaldpipowitch]

I would really love to do this, but I don't have enough spare time for that. Will try to help with further pull requests :/

[vladikoff]

@addyosmani would be happy to help, let me know.

[sindresorhus]

@stephanebachelier @donaldpipowitch @vladikoff Added you to the repo. Feel free to commit, triage issues and review/merge PRs. No pressure though :)

[addyosmani]

Huge thanks to anyone who has offered their help. Usemin gets used quite a lot and unfortunately, we don't have as much time as we would like to maintain it. If you'd like to help with the list of tasks Sindre mentioned above we'd <3 it. Let us know if you need anything when it comes to tagging/pushing new releases.

[stephanebachelier]

@addyosmani I've read through some of it. I'll take some time to help with some issues.

Usemin is the central piece of my workflow :)

[sudevkk]

Will try to help with some issues. Let me go through the Issue list. Any priorities ?

[sindresorhus]

@sudevkk Reviewing PRs has priority. Other than that. Go nuts :)

[eddiemonge]

If anyone has any questions or is hesitant about closing an issue, landing a PR or any other questions ping @sindresorhus or me or any Yeoman core member and we will step in and provide direction. Thanks for volunteering

[jamesscholeyweb]

I should have some free time to take a look and help where I can.

[AliMD]

yes. thank you.

[arthurvr]

I'm def. interested in trying to help out, btw. Maintaining seems a little much, but helping, for sure.

[jfroffice]

👍 if I can help to review some PR or fix some issues.

[shamoons]

I'm happy to take on as maintainer.

[karensg]

That would be great! Lots of pull requests are waiting review :)

[nodox]

Would love to take on as another maintainer.

[ptitgraig]

@addyosmani @sindresorhus, some people seems to be keen on maintaing this project :)

[sindresorhus]

@shamoons @karensg @nodox @ptitgraig Thanks for stepping up. You're now collaborators on this repo :)

The guidelines are simple. Be kind to everyone. Larger changes should come in a pull request. Smaller ones can be committed directly. Pull requests should have at least one 👍 from another collaborator before being merged. Follow the existing code style and ensure npm test passes before pushing a commit. You can use branches in this repo, but clean them up afterwards. Bugs fixes and new features should come with tests. We prefer a clean commit history, so when merging a pull request, either ask the contributor to squash their commits or do it for them manually.

Also keep in mind that the goal of this project is simplicity. That means solving a problem for the 90% with the least amount of options.

The next step and biggest priority is to land @stephanebachelier's dev branch which resolves #244.

[eddiemonge]

Or make this a thin wrapper around useref and combine the efforts with @jonkemp to reduce duplication

[nodox]

What needs to happen before @stephanebachelier dev branch can be merged? Are we missing tests?
@sindresorhus

[sindresorhus]

@nodox I don't know. You'll have to ask him.

[eddiemonge]

Someone just needs to go through it and make sure it works and merges cleanly

[stephanebachelier]

@sindresorhus @eddiemonge I'm back in the place. For the dev branch I had asked if anybody could tested it but I don't know about anyone apart from me.
I will take a look again at the dev branch. It should still works.

Is there some forum / place to discuss about what to do ? I created the gitter yeoman/grunt-usemin channel last year but there is not so much activity :) Have you got another channel ?

[sindresorhus]

Yes, you can use https://gitter.im/yeoman/yeoman (Maybe add that to the readme).

[stephanebachelier]

@sindresorhus ok done.

[benmcginnis]

still need any help @addyosmani and @sindresorhus ?

[sovaj]

I like to help you guys

Let me know if you still looking for someone to maintain this project. If you do I will gladly do it.

Thanks.

[eddiemonge]

Yup still are. What capacity would you like to help in?
