update global structure ?

[12rambau]

I started to use cookiecutter for various things and I didn't realized there was a specific one for extentions. Would you be interested in updating the strucure to more modern Python ?

• use pre-commits
• use github actions
• rely on a single pyproject.toml file
• add config to build documentation (with default pages like landing, contribute, API)

Sure, go for it.

sorry @daquintero for washing away some of your effort I didn't saw you started working on my issue. In short I moved away from cookicutter as it was not allowing me to update my packages when I was discovering new things about python envirnment e.g. :

• setuptools -> hatchling
• tox -> nox
• flake8 -> ruff

To reflect that I created a copier template for sphinx based extention and saved it here: https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/copier-sphinxcontrib

I also published a skeleton extention here applying as much as possible the instructions of the readme: https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/sphinxcontrib-skeleton

I would be curious to get your feedback on both and see with @stephenfin if it would make sense to archive this repository in favor of the copier template (this is what we did in jupyter for lab plugins)
