Join forces with zsh-users

[xeruf]

Since this organisation was born out of necessity rather than purpose (https://teddit.net/r/zsh/comments/qinb6j/httpsgithubcomzdharma_has_suddenly_disappeared_i/hil4oww/)
how about incorporating the repos into @zsh-users for better maintenance (@nicoulaj)?

[CleytonRR]

Good idea

This sounds like a good idea to me. I'd be interested in hearing thoughts from @nicoulaj and @pschmitt.

Not totally against the idea of doing so since I feel less comfortable maintaining f-sy-h than let's say zinit, but:

• is @zsh-users even interested in hosting f-sy-h? It'd kinda be awkward since https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting is a thing

I don't want to point people to another repo that gets archived a few days down the line.

If you have a project you want to host here, ping @nicoulaj / #zsh-users on Matrix.

That's why I added the ping.
Maybe zsh-syntax-highlighting can even be updated with the innovations from fast-syntax-highlighting and they can be unified again :)

I prefer the fast-syntax-highlighting, if this repository will added in zsh-users, would be more easy to find it, and more people could contribute with it.
congrats for this works, guys 🚀 !!!

Did anyone ping him as described in the official @zsh-users description string?

Zsh community projects (not directly affiliated with the zsh project). If you have a project you want to host here, ping @nicoulaj / #zsh-users on Matrix.

I never used Matrix 🤷 so I didn't

[alichtman]

I looked for the channel and couldn't find it. Only found #zsh

Hi guys,

Why not as long as there is a team of trusted people committed to maintaining it. However, I want to make it clear that psprint will not be given any committer access in zsh-users given his past actions, unless other admins disagree with me. The zsh-users org is very much based on trust and we don't want to risk having someone delete the repositories or push malicious stuff.

Also, this project started as a hostile fork of zsh-syntax-highlighting if I am not mistaken, and I find it a bit sad that we now have two competing syntax highlighting plugins... Maybe it would be better to try merging back the improvements made here into zsh-syntax-highlighting ?

I am not actively contributing to zsh-syntax-highlighting anymore, @danielshahaf @phy1729 WDYT ?

edit: btw, zsh-syntax-highlighting contributors are on IRC: libera.chat / #zsh-syntax-highlighting

Looks like Sebastian has explicitly allowed z-sy-h to incorporate f-sy-h code zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting#434 (comment) .

Just looking at the directory structure, it seems there's been a significant refactoring since the z-sy-h fork. There are no separate highlighters, there are now chroma, and the tests seem to be largely missing. I certainly have no opposition to incorporating f-sy-h features and bug fixes (indeed there's issue 434 for this very thing); however, as a simple diff between the two projects isn't feasable, it would be helpful for users to identify what features and bug fixes f-sy-h has developed.
