Future of YUIdoc

[vire]

Hi Guys, after reading that yahoo terminated YUI, is there a chance that yuidoc will be maintained in the future, if not please post some announcements (according support & new features) on the title page.

[lexander]

AFAIK YUIDoc has been a true 'open source' project for a long time in that it has been supported by members of the community at least as much as by yahoo employees.

I don't know if commit privileges are currently limited to yahoo employees. Hopefully not.

@lexander

looking some stats: last commit Apr. 22, open issues 84 (except this), 13 unresolved pull requests
This does not seem to me like a managed opensource project..

The thing, why I stared this issue is simple, I want to use some doc lib for my project, I really like YUIdoc, but if this project is not going to be maintained actively. Then based on reasonable and rational facts I've choose some different library/project.

Just to make things clear and simple to understand

This is a good point.

Does Yahoo have a plan to hand over the commit privileges to the community so the project can maintain itself?

[mercmobily]

Well, it doesn't look like this is still maintained at all... what solution did you go pick in the end lexander? I need to document a pretty big project. I have everything set up for Yuidoc... luckily, I haven't started writing actual documentation yet...

Wherever I turn, I find half-finished and unmaintained modules!

guys, I have no time to work on this, nor @davglass, @ericf and the others who has carried on the torch of this project, but we are open for contributors, feel free to nominate existing contributors, and we can give them commit access. Just email me :)

[okuryu]

It might be lower priority project for me, but I'd love to contribute for everyone. Please ping me if you trust me. :)

/cc @caridy @ericf @davglass

[caridy]

@okuryu of course I trust you! jejejeje, added you to the contributors list. I'm still looking for others (specially non-yahoo employes) to help you. any suggestion? I'm thinking @limikael, @evocateur, @andrewnicols, and co.

[lexander]

@mercmobily I am using YUIDoc to generate docs for every project I'm on (professional and personal).

For me, the current feature set (specifically links to parent classes and the easy-to-read layout) are sufficient to warrant continued use even if there are no new features added to the core product.

Fair warning - I am a Y employee.

[caridy]

Mr. Shusta, you are already part of this selected group. jejejeje

[okuryu]

@caridy I think that you need to update maintainers at npm if you want to hand over the reins of power to someone completely. https://www.npmjs.org/package/yuidocjs

[andrewnicols]

I'm game. I like YUIDoc and it's featureset, and I'd be happy to be part of a group maintaining it for future.

[caridy]

@andrewnicols added!

$ npm owner add andrewnicols yuidocjs
$ npm owner add okuryu yuidocjs

@lexander I don't know your npm username. @okuryu can add you later on...

alright guys, you're ready to roll, I will still be around reviewing new features :)

[okuryu]

@caridy Awesome, thanks!

[limikael]

Hi guys,

Sorry if I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm very honored to be thought of
and would sure like to give it a go!

My username on npm is limikael

Cheers!

I would also like to make contributions, so I volunteer as a person who is willing to work on tasks and stuff related to the YUIdoc project.

[caridy]

@vire awesome, there is a lot to do, check the open issues, and send PRs, once you have a proven record, we can promote you to contributor.
