Tooling for creating typed-typings repos

[nevir]

While I really like the idea behind typed-typings, I fear it's going to be really painful to get contributions without some tooling.

Current pain points:

• A lot of boilerplate in typings repos
  • Ideally, I should be able to take a .d.ts that's been written & used in one of my projects, and "push" it to typed-typings with minimal effort
  • A Yeoman generator, or similar tool, might be able to streamline that?
• Managing the typed-typings org (adding contributors), seems like it'll be annoying, particularly since most potential contributions are one-off

@nevir Repos don't need to be in the organisation to be added to the registry. Those are only ones that we, as maintainers, are "officially" collaborating on.

Also, @unional wrote a generator: https://github.com/unional/generator-typings

Ah, awesome, thanks for the pointers!

Here's an example of someone hosting it outside of the typed-typings repo: https://github.com/typings/registry/blob/master/npm/node-uuid.json - there's a few others too, it's just we've been writing a lot of the initial definitions.

@nevir , let me know what do you think about the generator. Any issue welcome. :rose:

@nevir Did these answer your questions too? Any other thoughts on streamlining further?

Got side tracked unfortunately, I hope I'll have some time to play around w/ them soon
