Dokan Go Wrapper as official wrapper

[Liryna]

Hi @taruti and @gabriel ,

I was pleasantly surprised to see that keybase has developed a Go wrapper for Dokan ❤️ (https://github.com/keybase/kbfs/tree/master/dokan)

Does the wrapper is currently specific to kbfs ? Or could it be externalized as official wrapper in the dokan-dev community and be maintained by keybase ?

It would be really great to have a new language supported by Dokan !

Hi @Liryna,

We discussed this and sharing the wrapper with the larger community would be great!

The Dokan wrapper does not depend on any other kbfs code, but we want to make some API changes before declaring it stable.

Dokan has been a joy to use!

Progress report:

Now the API seems more stable:
https://godoc.org/github.com/keybase/kbfs/dokan

It lacks FindFilesWithPattern and alternative streams at the moment - other than that I am quite happy with the API. I hope we get something out soonish =)

👍 Thats a great news ! Thank you KBFS team 😃 !

Hi @taruti, are there any plans for extracting your Dokan wrappers into a separate repo in the @dokan-dev account? I think this could be valuable for discoverability and could help establish the bindings as official and well-supported.

I suggested something similar in dokan-dev/dokany#520 and @Liryna and @Rondom sounded interested in this 😄

I'll comment on the dokany issue.
