Can you add a new collaborator to this repository?

[gangstead]

There are currently 65 issues and 18 PRs and no commits for more than a year. I know anyone can fork it, and 81 people have, but it'd be nice to have the original scalariform up to date instead of having to go shopping through all the forks.

I realize this project may not be a priority for you anymore, but could you add some collaborators so we can keep it up to date?

A related information you may find useful is that the current "considered active" fork is Daniel's here: https://github.com/daniel-trinh/scalariform

Truth be told, both repositories suffer from many people wanting to contribute, and the maintainer being unable to keep up with it. It would be awesome if we could add more maintainers to either repository.

// cc @daniel-trinh and I know @dickwall was interested in these topics

[gangstead]

I've seen @daniel-trinh's scalariform and I also see active forks from @jkinkead and @michalkowol among others. There's also the fork that's distributed by @scala-ide, that's only somewhat stale. If I have to piece together all the improvements from all of these forks I'll just have unformatted code instead.

In an ideal world all these contributions would get rolled up to this repo, maybe with the help of some other collaborators or by being transferred to an org like Typesafe, Scala or Scala-IDE to update them as the language changes.

@odersky is there any need for an "official" scala formatter?

[jkinkead]

I would love so much if there were an official formatter. I forked mine because both this one and @daniel-trinh's seemed dead.

We use this at allenai.org to keep things consistent, and it's incredibly helpful for readability purposes, especially for novices.

Totally would love someone to pick up the ball on this, would like to use this in a project but am reluctant to hook a dormant / unmaintained project into our build.

Is that official?
Can we get that added to the top of the README on this repos, to aid people who were not aware of that?

[daniel-trinh]

I'd be happy to add contributors to my fork, since my time is limited for developing new features that I believe the community would find useful. Once we identify people who are interested, we can get a discussion going.

It looks like it is official, as daniel-trinh has publish access to org.scalariform in maven central and sonatype. See the comments on daniel-trinh#55

@mdr -- would you consider adding a comment about that to the top of the README on this repos, to aid people who were not aware of the new home of scalariform?

Thanks,

If you open a PR agains this repo with the desired changes to the README file I can merge it.

I think this issue can be closed now, thanks.

(You could even close all open issues and direct people to reopen them at https://github.com/daniel-trinh/scalariform if they are still valid?)
