Moving AnonCreds repos to a new organization

[swcurran]

LFDT has requested that all projects move from the Hyperledger GitHub Organization to one that is specific to the project. In the case of Hyperledger AnonCreds, the new organization is AnonCreds GitHub Organization.

I propose the following process:

1. DONE Complete the in progress 0.2.3 release -- notably the completion of the release of the AnonCreds Wrapper JavaScript to NPM. Once that is done, we can continue to the next step.
2. Move as is all of the repos to the new organization, along with the maintainer permissions, retaining the existing repo names.
   • Identify the repos that have GHActions and so may need to be updated after the move.
3. Update any relevant GHActions to make sure all of the tests and publishing workflows still work.
4. Update documentation in the repos. Check each for changes required by the move.
5. Update any gh-pages publications still work.
   • This could (for some repos) include replacing the old repo and gh-pages with a redirect to the new location, since gh-pages redirects are not automagic like repos.
6. Update the impacted LFDT Webpages, calendar invites, wiki pages, etc.

I think you covered it. You'll want to edit the readme - I copied the one from this repo. Take a look at the template and transmorgify the content in the README.md into that format.

Updates made to the plan:

• New GitHub organization name changed to "anoncreds" and so drop the "hyperledger" from the GitHub name. All repositories will retain their current name.
• Noted that the blocking publishing of the AnonCreds Wrapper JavaScript task has been completed -- thanks!
• Added item to identify (in a comment below) the repositories that have GHActions associated and so will need updates along the way.

@ryjones -- the repos in the table above marked "now" can be moved immediately. What is the process -- do you just do them all including the CLOWarden updates, or do you want me to do some of the work? Once we've got the "Now" ones done, we'll move onto the "Hold" ones. I'd like to be sure others are aware when those move.

[ryjones]

Hi @swcurran - I did the clowarden removal and moved the "now" ones. I'll let you decide on the new clowarden controls on the other side. We'll probably want the inverse of this but we can discuss.

Regarding the JS wrappers, I think we need to change the org as well then if we're not doing hyperledger anymore? We are currently publishing as @hyperledger/anoncreds-nodejs etc..

We can make it just anoncreds-nodejs etc.. or @anoncreds/nodejs.

[ryjones]

@TimoGlastra you can keep publishing where you are, since the project name is still Hyperledger Anoncreds. Project's call.

@swcurran I've forked the repos you want to publish GHA from back to hyperledger and made you admin - feel free to manipulate as you wish

Thanks!
