Current Development Cycle or Roadmap
Hi there!
Congrats for building a cool product, really happy with it so far. I have been a long-time Magit user and have been recently trying to move to a terminal-based workflow.
I'm interested in the long-term maintenance of the project. Are you currently working in any feature/issue? Is there a particular ROADMAP potential contributors can see and help with?
Thanks!
Hey! I have had the question asked before. Currently there's no roadmap. But theres a bunch of open issues that might help.
Something in the back of my head regarding the project is to experiment with:
- support for autocomplete
- consolidate the ui code into "Widgets"
I had some peeks at termwiz/wezterm, and they seem to be adding some nicer support for this.
I should create tickets for this. Currently I'm on vacation til February. But id be happy to answer simpler things, and perhaps put some more effort into writing better issues. Then I think its just a matter of giving a hint of priority (roadmap/pinning issues?).
Thanks so much for the response! Makes sense, take the time off and enjoy!
I'm in the process of implementing the merge_menu alongside all the merge commands. In my mind, having a Roadmap (that being through prioritized issues) is helpful for contributors to help out! Reduces the bus hit factor.
Best, Quique.
Unrelated but what's your preferred way of communication? Say, a contributor has questions about specific direction. Is it through creating an issue?
@Qkessler I agree something like a roadmap to help paint a picture of what is being worked on would be helpful. I think a pile of issues alone is too nitty-gritty to get a full picture. I'll think about it!
As for communication channel, I like the idea of an open forum. There's the "discussions" section on GitHub nowadays. Might want somewhere to chat too?
