LOOKING FOR A NEW TEAM TO LEAD CRACO

[patricklafrance]

After a few years, GSoft decided to stop maintaining CRACO. I personnally have a new role and I don't have the time (or motivation) to contribute anymore. Since we are short staff, the management at GSoft won't assign anyone on this project.

Instead of killing the project, I would prefer to transfer the ownership to a new team since it's still widely used and the CRA 5 support is almost done.

If you are interested, manifest yourself in this issue.

It's always hard when life and priorities change tracks, thanks for all the contributions!

Would you be looking for a group specifically or motivated individuals?

[patricklafrance]

I am fine with both @Codex-

A team or a motivated individual who will be the new owner of the repo and take the lead.

@patricklafrance
First of all, thanks for the great job during all these years! Can you please describe the scope of work you see necessary to release cra5 support?

[patricklafrance]

Hey @akachicon

The utility functions have to be adapted to work with Webpack 5. I think it requires a full redesign.

Otherwise it's mostly about testing different use cases. I haven't test much CRACO with CRA5 so there might be other things that are broken like lesser used features.

From the comments in the issues there doesn't seem to have many problems thought.

@XzaR90 @mattsputnikdigital please create a new issue to talk about matters not related to finding new maintainers for craco.

Thank you

Has a new maintainer been found, or not yet? If not, I would be interested in completing the upgrade to CRA5 and conducting internal testing throughout my team.

[patricklafrance]

Hey @dilanx

Still no maintainers! Thanks for your interest in completing the upgrade to CRA5. Feel free to message me if you need me to add additional contributors of your team.

[dilanx]

Thanks for your response @patricklafrance

Is there a good method I could use to contact you directly? I would like to message you more about the possibility of maintaining this project.

[patricklafrance]

@dilanx yes you can DM me on Twitter.

[dilanx]

Thanks, @patricklafrance. Unfortunately, it says that you have incoming DMs from anyone disabled, so it doesn't let me message you. You can message me on Twitter if you'd like.
