Looking for co-maintainer

[billziss-gh]

I am looking for people to help maintain the SSHFS-Win project as I no longer have enough bandwidth for it.

Maintenance of this project includes:

• Implementation of new features: there are many requests for new features in SSHFS-Win, most of them involving alternative authentication mechanisms.

• Investigation/fixing of problems: there are many open issues against SSHFS-Win although quite a few of them are likely problems of misconfiguration or misunderstanding of how to use SSHFS-Win. There are bound to be some genuine problems as well.

  • To facilitate onboarding and not overwhelm a new maintainer, current issues would be marked as stale and closed after a quick triage.

• Answering questions: SSHFS-Win attracts users of varying levels of knowledge and they often have questions that may need to be addressed.

The ideal maintainer would have some knowledge of:

• SSH / SSHFS.
• Cygwin.
• The Windows file system.
• (Optional) FUSE.

You do not have to be an expert in any/all of the above and you can also count on me supporting you.

What's in it for you:

• Learning about operating systems and file systems.

• Learning about open-source project maintenance.

• A chance of seeing your work being used by a lot of people.

• The warm feeling of helping others :-)
