Josh Harlow (original author of taskflow and related libraries) and I
have been discussing the option of moving taskflow out of the
openstack umbrella recently. This move would likely also include the
futurist and automaton libraries that are primarily used by taskflow.
Just for completeness: futurist and automaton are also heavily relied on
by ironic without using taskflow.
When did futurist get used??? nice :)
(I knew automaton was, but maybe I knew futurist was to and I forgot, lol).
The idea would be to just host them on github and use the regular
Github features for Issues, PRs, wiki, etc, in the hopes that this
would spur more development. Taskflow hasn't had any substantial
contributions in several years and it doesn't really seem that the
current openstack devs have a vested interest in moving it forward. I
would like to move it forward, but I don't have an interest in being
bound by the openstack workflow (this is why the project stagnated as
core reviewers were pulled on to other projects and couldn't keep up
with the review backlog, so contributions ground to a halt).
I guess I'm putting it forward to the larger community. Does anyone
have any objections to us doing this? Are there any non-obvious
technicalities that might make such a transition difficult? Who would
need to be made aware so they could adjust their own workflows?
Or would it be preferable to just fork and rename the project so
openstack can continue to use the current taskflow version without
worry of us breaking features?
