The project is looking for a new owner

[juditacs]

Due to numerous other engagement I am unable to continue maintaining the project and therefore looking for a new owner. I will try to fix the current issues mostly due to bitrot and after that the project will officially be discontinued until someone is willing take over.

Hey! I was wondering if you'd be interested in moving some of your collection to a more generic repo. I'm currently maintaining Sample Programs in Every Language. As the name suggests, we're collecting code snippets in every language.

[juditacs]

Sure, you're welcome to use the code here. Unfortunately I did not add a license when I created this repo but I doubt any contributor would mind having their piece of code in your collection.

I have to point out though that these programs are optimized for speed and may not be the best examples of how to program in X language.

[jrg94]

Sounds great! I'll keep that in mind going forward. Also, I'll try to find a way to share credit anyhow. I wouldn't want anyone to steal anyone's work!

👋 I'd be happy to take on this project. It's a really interesting and pratical approach to language comparison!

[juditacs]

That's great to hear. How should we approach this? Update all solutions or just the framework?

[sdball]

However you'd like is just fine with me. Transfer repo ownership, grant me commit access to this repo still under your account, put it into some org, etc.

[juditacs]

I think the best would be to continue in another repository. Either a fork or something else under your account. I could archive this one and point to the new one in the README.

But my main question is about your plans with the current solutions?

[sdball]

Me starting a fork sounds entirely reasonable.

I've only looked at a few solutions so far but my assumption was to go through them and flag any that aren't working as-is and go down the list to get them going again. At the very least the data scripts need to be updated to use working urls.

I think it might be nice to also have a docker setup per solution in addition to the comprehensive one.

I also like the idea to allow multiple solutions per language eg simple vs optimized.

Let's go with a fork then. What should we do about the open issues and PRs?
