Volunteer Maintainer about language-r HOT 13 CLOSED

I'm pretty busy this week, but would be happy to be a maintainer as well. I use this package pretty much every day

from language-r.

@lee-dohm ^^

I was about to post the same, though I'd love to see this be part of the default Atom experience. I keep recommending Atom to R users, especially since they can use hydrogen for live coding in-app.

Given that the last three contributors haven't been responding, I suppose that adding more would be the right thing. I'd prefer to see participation prior to granting push access though.

By the way, there is 3 requests to pull. Anyone?
Cheers

I'm not using R anymore, so I don't have an educated opinion on whether they're beneficial changes. Hence the need for volunteer maintainers. Or at least people to comment on the benefits and drawbacks of changes like those.

I use R for a long time now and I'm always using R. However, I'm not a Git expert.

Sign me up, although i am a total newbie to atom dev

For the people that want to become maintainers, start commenting on PRs and/or submitting your own. I'll grant the rights to those who show they want to do the work.

Awkwardly, I really only care that R just becomes a built-in for the sake of Hydrogen R users. I was literally at the GitHub offices demoing to some data scientists when I realized that I couldn't run R code without the language package installed.

Do you know what council I could approach with a request to make R a built in language?

@rgbkrk, you can send an email to [email protected] or create a topic on https://discuss.atom.io. The maintainer team (of which I am currently a member) will discuss it and get back to you. As of this writing, it is unlikely that the maintainer team would consider adding it. See this recent issue for background.

This isn't something the Atom team wants to or has the expertise to maintain. Also, it has now been a few years since I've used R with any regularity at all, so I don't have the time or expertise to maintain this package either.

Given that the few people that have volunteered to maintain this package haven't picked up the banner here, I'm going to once again return this to unmaintained status. If anyone wants to take over maintenance, they can fork this package and create a new one.

It does work as is, there aren't any open bugs are there?

from language-r.

#18 was open still. And #15, #16, #22, and #23 were open.
