Rename this repository to "TiddlyWikiClassic"

Open Jermolene opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

I am trying to consolidate all the various TiddlyWiki repositories into this organisation (https://github.com/TiddlyWiki). There's a ticket in the TW5 repo explaining the plans: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/6565.

Eventually, I intend to migrate TiddlyWiki 5 to this organisation too at https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5

To make things less confusing for users, I propose that we rename this repository to "TiddlyWikiClassic".

It is important to note that GitHub redirects everything when a repository is renamed. So, after the change, users who try to visit https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki will be automatically redirected to https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWikiClassic.

@YakovL Is there still something going on with TWc?

@pmario yes, I still have some developments and plans (release 2.9.3, improve dev tools and docs update workflow, release various extensions), but since I dived into product development in 2021, my focus shifted considerably and I can't predict when I continue delivering new updates, especially now when we decided to leave Russia due to various obvious and not-that-obvious concerns.

Note that currently repo name is used not only by users, but also by Gitlab Actions inside the docs repo, so several preparation steps will be required to rename it without breaking things.

Good to hear from you @YakovL, and I'm delighted you've got future plans for TWC.

Note that currently repo name is used not only by users, but also by Gitlab Actions inside the docs repo, so several preparation steps will be required to rename it without breaking things.

I think the dependency would be this line:

https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/tiddlywiki.github.com/blob/dcd9be79ae2197b7b7fd46563e8f569199c10232/.github/workflows/build-from-source.yaml#L25

GitHub redirects to the new name with a 301 over HTTPS which means that the clone would succeed. But of course it should be changed at the same time for clarity.

Yes, exactly!

Great! Is this a good time to go ahead and do the rename? I'd be happy to make a PR to tiddlywiki.github.com as discussed above too.

Very good to consolidate TW into one organization.

Apart from the comment here above I had a remark that was lost in the process. The proposed name TiddlyWikiClassic is abbreviated as TWC, this has a prominent WC and TWC is not a wikiword. Can we use TiddlyWiki-classic or TiddlyWiki classic, and abbreviate to TWc which is a wikiword. I think TWc looks just a little more classier than TWC, is it important, I leave it up to you.

Have a nice day, Okido
