Bookshelf Next - New Project Organisation, call for developers and ideas

[Playrom]

Hello Developers!

Last month the project creator and main maintainer @tgriesser has granted administrative power and ownership of bookshelf to a new organisation, which will oversee the future of our beloved ORM.

Reference: #1511


Me and @dj-hedgehog are some of the members of this organisation.

We want to restart the development of bookshelf, and we have already started the work with the merge of new Pull Requests, and the release of version 0.10.4

We are also analysing the issues backlog

.

But we need your help to thrive the project, in form of collaborations, new ideas, PRs etc…

If you want to help please follow this guidelines

1. Use this thread to discuss about the future of the project or to propose yourself as developer
2. Open a new issue for every idea you might want to be implemented in the future
3. Submit a pull request

In the scope of reduce the huge size of the backlog we will close all the PRs and Issues older then December 2016, asking to reopen them if issues are still relevant, and PRs are still valid.

We will use the Github Projects to organise our work

We can't work alone, because this is why bookshelf started to fail this winter, we need your help and experties.

Thank You for your love for bookshelf and for every advice and help you will give us

I just have one (probably unpopular) suggestion and that is to drop babel. Since node versions 0.10 and 0.12 are no longer supported is it really still necessary?

@ricardograca open an issue about that, I'm open to a discussion about this point ( I hate babel and no-es6 javascript )
