Project needing maintainers
Bevy scripting needs you!
So far I am the only committed maintainer of this crate. This has worked very well when I didn't have any other major responsibilities, but since getting a full time job, I've been struggling to keep the updates coming.
Do not be scared, I am not pausing development or anything of the sort, I will eventually be able to fall back into the rhythm and keep improving the crate. In fact I am looking forward to a big re-write when dynamic systems are possible in Bevy!
Having additional maintainers would mean a much more predictable release cycle, and at the very least keeping up with the Bevy train on time.
Scope
At the beginning, this library was just a single crate, and everything was simple. Then the scope increased, and suddenly I was supporting an ever changing bevy scripting API, which is still unfinished, as well as keeping up with a multitude of tools including tealr
, teal
, rhai
etc..
The library reached the point where coming back to it after long breaks means re-discovering all the design choices I have made. This means that new people joining the project wouldn't be far behind me in understanding everything ;)
At the very least I am looking for a dedicated person able to commit to keeping this crate updated whenever Bevy changes (which usually isn't that much work), so I can focus on improving the library. Ideally we'd have more people, a subject matter expert for every language we support, and maybe some people dedicated to other bits and bobs (like docs, optimisation etc..). I am aware this might be a bit much considering the library isn't that popular, but one can hope :)
