Re: Tentacles; Going Forward
Alan, I haven't thought much about the new GraphQL endpiont. But I imagine, once GitHub releases it, it's currently only early-access, we can think about how to add it to tentacles. Maybe I'll open a WIP PR on a branch and start trying some things out.

Re: Tentacles; Going Forward
Matthew, +1 everything Chas said. #RIPRaynes I do have a question about tentacles more generally. Given GitHub's move to GraphQL, how do you see this being supported (or not?) in this library going forwards?

Re: Tentacles; Going Forward
I only became aware of this conversation yesterday; hopefully no one was looking for my reply earlier… Anthony was a friend, but our project activity was quite separate. I think we had a couple of PRs on each other's projects, but that's about it. I don't think I have any particular authority in this area, either. In any case, I don't have any bandwidth atm for increasing my involvement in general-purpose OSS stuff. I'd suggest that anyone with an important dependency on one of Anthony's projects push them forward independently. At least, don't wait for or rely upon other volunteers to coordinate these sorts of things. If there end up being multiple forks, etc., that'll work out over time. Especially if you represent a ~trusted organization (CircleCI being a reasonable example), and are accommodating of others' use cases within reason (i.e. act like a sane maintainer), then I suspect others will follow your lead. The clojars/maven coordinate question is stickier. The clojars folks might have general policy, and maybe they've addressed this particular situation elsewhere. But, this is an excellent object lesson in how the organization/project-name convention is a *good thing*, in contrast to effectively single-level namespace coordinates like tentacles/tentacles. IMO, a com.circleci/tentacles artifact in clojars would be a far better direction; it puts multiple forks (if they end up being necessary) on equal footing, and properly reflects the divergence in maintenance.

Tentacles; Going Forward
I have no authority to speak on this, but I think it would be nice to see a consensus fork managed by some one or ones with a vested interest in it. (I also have used tentacles off and on.) Maybe another option would be to create a github org of some people that can act as admins. I'd nominate Chas as someone to act in that capacity given his relationship with raynes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.

Tentacles; Going Forward
First of, I want to say that I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Anthony Grimes. He had a tremendous impact on all of us. Anthony will be missed, and the Clojure community will not be the same without him. The reason for this letter is to start a discussion regarding tentacles, an OSS library of Anthony's for working with the GitHub API. And an effort to let the legacy of Anthony live on. We, CircleCI, use this library extensively; our entire business is built around the use of tentacles. We have come to a point where we want new features added to this library but are in a bit of a pickle. Sure, we could simply fork and release a new version as circleci/tentacles. Due to groupId restrictions of maven artifacts, we cannot release a version of tentacles/tentacles to clojars since we do not belong to the 'tentacles' group. But this feels wrong without first consulting the community. We want tentacles, and the legacy of Anthony, to live on. Our fear of a fork is that there may be many forks, which will eventually lead to a diluted field of forks. This leads to the potential of diminishing the efforts Anthony put into making a fantastic piece of software. So, I want to open a discussion to the community, as to how we, the community, should proceed.
